How is ‘some percentage’ discernible? 100% recycled paper comes in every grade of paper from photocopier/proof grade, to high quality art board you couldn’t tell from the same item made from virgin rain forest timber. The idea that recycled paper has flecks of colours and fibres throughout or is in any way different in appearance is so out of date.

Way more practical than solar. Solar should be for static applications, and some new tech should be used to capture energy from every vibration we can. Our washing machines probably could power a few lamps, if it were law that any new machine sold had motion energy recapture technology, it could be everywhere rather quickly. I wonder what is possible, or if the amount of energy is minimal. At the very least I want to see exercise equipment and small devices power themselves.
