Fact	Paper is one of the most recycled products in the world.  Read the full Two Sides fact sheet.
Source	While it's true that collecting used paper and recycling it into new products is good for the environment, there's a catch. The wood fibers in paper can be recycled only about five times before they get too weak and break down. That's why we need fresh fiber harvested from responsibly managed forests, too. Using fresh fiber creates a sustainable cycle of high-quality recyclable material to continually replenish recycled fiber. And the paper industry's perpetual use of trees discourages the selloff of land for development, encourages sustainable forestry practices and supports hundreds of thousands of U.S. jobs.
