Recycled paper is made mainly from pre-consumer waste, which is trimmed during the paper manufacturing process. The greenest choice is post-consumer recycled.

The fibers in recycled pulp are very short and heavily processed, so manufacturers often use a combination of recycled and new pulp to make the paper stronger. Hemp is a good alternative fiber, being a less environmentally demanding crop than cotton or timber. See below for a list of Hemp and Post-consumer recycled drawing paper.
