Market Readiness Analysis

the term recycled, they are thinking of post consumer recycling--a
product made of materials already used by consumers. Recycled
paper, though, can also be pre-consumed generally meaning it is
made of scraps from the mills that were not used in making finished
paper.
Different studies of recycled copy paper performance were conducted
in the US and Europe over the past few years contradict the commonly
held belief that recycled paper always causes more paper jams and
equipment malfunctions than virgin paper.
Four main benefits can be attributed to recycled paper:
A. Conservation of resources and landfill space
B. Reduction of waste and pollution
C. Job creation.
D. Conservation of Energy
c. Wood Free Paper
Wood free paper is the type of paper made from fibers/chemical pulp
only. Wood free helps reduce the deforestations for paper production.
These fibers can be mixed with recycled paper fibers to produce
excellent quality paper.
