Actually that Article is lacking any depth into the subject matter...very superficial...there are MANY alternatives that can be explored by the companies, the current method just gives them more profit. They wrote this as though there are no other options...

Japan has done some INCREDIBLE things with paper that would not require any sacrifice on Quality or the Rain forest.

Let me also add that the 'Companies' could do more by not producing so much fodder thereby reducing the amount of paper consumed...and lets not forget recyclable material.
