What is the power of paper. Paper is one of the most sustainable products as it is made from renewable resources. It is biodegradable and can cycle back in its original source for renewable energy.

Furthermore, as a wood product, paper also continues to store carbon throughout its lifetime. It is a non-toxic biodegradable material. Biodegradable Biodegradation is the process by which biological organisms break down substances into basic compounds like CO2, water, and biomass.
