Zhonghua Paper uses old newspapers, office paper and magazines as its raw materials, as it strives to green the living environment and save natural resources. It has invested over 160 million yuan in environmental protection, and passed accreditation of the ISO 14001 International Environment Management System of SGS in March 1999.
