Only few other materials are as recyclable and sustainable as paper. Because it is produced from renewable raw materials, it can be an amazing, environmentally friendly material in so many industries and end-uses: be it packaging, tissues, filters, labels, photographs, envelopes, advertising materials, or nearly wherever one can imagine.
