Recycled paper is made from used paper products that have been processed and repurposed. This process involves collecting waste paper, cleaning it, and breaking it down into fibers. These fibers are then reformed into new sheets of paper, reducing the need for virgin materials and conserving natural resources. Using recycled paper helps to minimize environmental impact by decreasing landfill waste and lowering energy consumption during production. It also reduces the number of trees cut down for paper manufacturing, contributing to the preservation of forests and promoting sustainability in the paper industry.
