Papermaking potential of recycled fibre Paper manufacturers using virgin fibres for production can choose their fibres depending on paper or board quality to be produced, availability of fibre types from various sources, economical as well as ecological aspects. If they are producing their fibres by themselves, they have influence on the origin of the wood,
