Unlike most other recyclables, paper cannot be recycled over and over again. Eventually the fibres
become too weak and short to be used again. That is why virgin paper fibre is usually mixed with
recycled paper when new paper products are made. Most cardboard boxes are a mixture of 50
percent new and 50 percent recycled fibres.
