What is sustainable plantation and recycled paper?

Recycled paper is an easy concept to undertand — the paper has been used previously. It might be that the paper has been gathered from consumers (e.g.: from the wheelie bins outide houses) or has been gathered from commercial enterprises (e.g.: from offices and factories, or the off-cuts from commercial printing companies). What happens when the used paper has been gathered to gether is just as simple to undertsand: the used paper is turned into a pulp, any ink is removed from the pulp, and then that pulp is used to create a clean recycled paper.

Our greeting card and Christmas card recycled paper is a mix of 55% recycled paper and 45% sustainable plantation paper. We cannot used 100% recycled paper on greeting cards and Christmas cards for two reasons. First, greeting card and Christmas card paper is polished after it is manufactured, and 100% recycled greeting card and Christmas card paper is not a good paper to polish — it starts to go a bit fury. Second, when greeting card and Christmas card paper is recycled many times, its fibres starts to loose their strength, so some new sustainable plantation paper is mixed with the recycled paper to give the paper some strength.

Sustainable plantation greeting card and Christmas card paper is paper that is grown from plantations, and those plantations adhere to strict environmental standards, such as conserving water and banning pesticides.
