In a major step forward for the use of recycled paper in the magazine industry, the National Geographic Society (NGS) has begun incorporating recycled fiber in all the pages of National Geographic Magazine, National Geographic Kids, and National Geographic Little Kids.

National Geographic, with over four million print copies each month, is initially piloting magazine paper containing five percent post-consumer recycled fiber, and intends to continue testing the viability of papers with increased recycled content. This expanded use of recycled paper comes as a result of close collaboration with Green America and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).
