Why Fresh Fibre Is Essential in the Paper Recycling Cycle

Every time paper is recycled, the fibres get shorter and weaker. Depending on the origin of the fibre and the type of products, fibre typically starts to degrade after being recycled 5 – 7 times. [1]

Fresh fibre is constantly needed to compensate for the retirement of degraded fibre, archival storage of paper (books, records, etc.), and loss of fibre through normal use and disposal of certain non-recyclable paper products, such as personal hygiene and tissue products. [1]
