Information regarding recycled paper
 Recycled paper is of the same quality of paper made from original forest sources. Standards
governing modern recycled paper ensure that it meets the highest quality requirements for
different printing processes. The imaging equipment supplied by the VA signatories is suitable
for using with recycled paper meeting the EN 12281:2002 standard.
 Purchasing recycled paper saves natural resources and promotes the circular economy. Paper
is made using cellulose fibres from wood. Collecting and recycling paper extends the life of
fibres over multiple life cycles making the best use of the resources.
 The recycled paper production process is shorter. The fibres have already been processed; so
less water, chemicals and energy are used.
 Paper recycling has the benefit of saving carbon by diverting paper products from alternative
disposal routes such as landfill and incineration. Landfill waste emits methane gas which has
a powerful greenhouse effect.
