The conversation around paper recycling is often misframed. The paper industry has a circular story that most manufacturing segments would envy. But telling that story accurately requires understanding how the system actually works—segment by segment, grade by grade—and being honest about where the weak points are.

Paper is a natural fit for the circular economy. Renewable wood fiber can be converted into paper and packaging products, recovered through recycling, and used to produce new products—keeping valuable fiber in circulation and reducing waste.

More than 1,500 companies worldwide have now pulled back or amended unsupported environmental claims that unfairly position paper and paper-based packaging as harmful to the environment.

In North America, Two Sides has challenged 422 companies, with 228 companies—more than half—changing or removing unsupported anti-paper messaging.

As the paper and packaging industry continues to advance responsible forestry, renewable fiber, recycling and circularity, accurate communication about environmental impacts matters.

Every paper story starts with a renewable resource: wood fiber from trees.

Responsible forest management helps ensure forests remain healthy and productive for future generations.

The paper industry doesn't simply use forests—it has a vested interest in maintaining a sustainable supply of fiber.

🌲 Healthy forests. Renewable fiber. A circular material.

This National Newspaper Week, we’re recognizing the enduring value of newspapers and the essential role they play in informed communities.

From local reporting and investigative journalism to community stories and public notices, newspapers provide trusted information in a tangible, accessible format.

Paper remains an important medium for connecting people with the news—and newspapers continue to demonstrate the value of print in an increasingly digital world.

If your organization sends transactional mail, direct mail, or printed communications at any volume, you have a stake in how the public perceives the environmental footprint of paper—and right now, that perception is out of step with reality. Read more here:

Consumers are not only concerned about what their packaging is made from, but also how sustainably it is designed. Sustainable packaging is not just about reducing environmental impact—it’s a key factor that directly influences purchasing behavior and brand loyalty.

Deadline for comments is Sept. 21st - we need you to lend your voice TODAY!

Paper or electronic? 80% of U.S. consumers say they should have the right to choose. For important financial, health and service-provider communications, consumers want a say in how they receive information.

As proposed federal rules move toward digital delivery by default, that choice is becoming an important part of the conversation.

Because receiving information isn't just about how it's delivered. It's about whether people actually see it, trust it and act on it.

We often overlook it, but electronic communication has an impact on the environment. One issue is e-waste, which continues to rise.

Many companies are pushing consumers to go paperless in favor of electronic delivery. But paper products are made from renewable resources, are recyclable, and are typically biodegradable, aligning well with a circular economy.

A truly circular economy keeps materials in use for as long as possible.

Paper is designed for this.
🌲 Fiber comes from a renewable resource.
📄 Paper products are used and collected for recycling.
♻️ Recovered paper can become new paper products.
🔄 The cycle continues.

That's the power of paper's circular story. https://t.co/iyk0ByLOkV
