What is the difference between FSC certified Kraft paper and 100% recycled Kraft paper?

The difference between FSC certified Kraft paper and 100% recycled Kraft paper is mainly reflected in the use of raw materials, that is to say, two kinds of Kraft paper products are using different types of raw materials, its products themselves are not very different.

FSC certified Kraft paper usually uses the original wood pulp as raw material for papermaking, while 100% recycled Kraft paper uses the recycled pulp as raw material for paper making, which is the biggest difference between the two.

FSC belongs to the forest Green Certification range, with tractability, each FSC certified Kraft paper can be traced back to the raw material from which forest farm.

FSC Kraft paper and 100% recycled Kraft paper at the same point is that they all embody the concept of environmental protection, first of all, the pursuit of environmental protection. FSC Kraft paper is usually made by artificial forest wood as raw materials, 100% environmentally friendly recycled Kraft paper is the use of recycled pulp as raw materials, but both have environmental characteristics.
