Why doesn 3M make all Post-it® Notes with 100% recycled paper?
There is a limited supply of recycled fiber from which new paper can be made. Even with maximum recycling, paper mills would not be able to sustain making paper with only recycled content. In fact, it has been estimated that if all printing and writing paper was made with recycled content, the maximum sustainable level would be less than 10% postconsumer content.
