New and Recycled Fibres

Waste paper can only be recycled about five to ten times before it degrades to an unusable state. We cannot go on recycling the same piece of paper forever, because the fibres break down and cannot form a strong enough “web” to make paper.

So, virgin fibre (from raw materials) must be added into the paper recycling loop, to make sure that the paper produced is of a high quality. This fibre comes mostly from plantation trees.
