Question
What is virgin fiber?
Answer
Virgin fiber is wood pulp that is being used to make paper for the first time. In other words, it has never been recycled. It comes directly from harvested trees rather than from reclaimed paper.
- Source: freshly harvested wood, not recovered paper
- Opposite of: recycled fiber, which has already been used at least once
- Responsible option: virgin fiber from FSC-certified forests keeps sourcing accountable
- Common use: many stocks blend virgin and recycled fiber to balance strength and sustainability
