Recycled paper is usually bleached mechanically, without need of bleaching chemicals.

Also be FSC certified recycled paper (choose the 100% recycled), but the traditional certification for recycled paper is the Blue Angel.

 

Post-consumer recycled paper comes at the end of the entire life cycle (eg coming from the dumpster). Pre-consumer paper is produced by scraps which never reached the final consumer (eg newspapers, cuttings of typography, etc). Pre-consumer paper is basically recovery of raw materials.
