Paper can only be recycled 3 times, because the fibers get shorter and weaker each time the paper is recycled.
First Peoples/Non Timber Forest Products
The First Peoples know a lot about our forests, because they have been living in them and using them for all kinds of things for a long time. Global Forest scientists are working with numerous First Peoples nations to record and study their indigenous plant knowledge and uses. A forest is full of many things other than trees that people can use, such as mushrooms, decorative plants and food plants. Non timber forest products - things other than trees - are being studied so that we can still make money and get good things from the forests without cutting them all down.
