surplus paper becomes

Use
Direct
Paper
Existing
For the edition, existing paper is reused in its current form rather than being recycled first.
As no new paper is made for the edition, the associated resource use is avoided — without changes to the existing print shop. For examples of what can be made, see Corporate gifts from surplus paper and Printing on surplus paper. Print shops wishing to pass on their own surplus paper can find details under Putting surplus paper to use.
