No It Isn't.

WITHOUT NEW FIBRES, FROM NEW TREES, THE PAPER CYCLE CAN NOT BEGIN. RECYCLED FIBRES DEGRADE AFTER SEVERAL USES AND NEW FIBRES ARE ALWAYS NEEDED.


In choosing your paper you must consider its full life cycle and not just the fibre source. It's important to remember that virgin fibre is always required to make recycled paper possible in the first place. 40% of new wood fibre is always needed to keep the global fibre cycle going.
