<P> Most pulp mills use good forest management practices in harvesting trees to ensure that they have a sustainable source of raw materials . One of the major complaints about harvesting wood for pulp mills is that it reduces the biodiversity of the harvested forest . Pulp tree plantations account for 16 percent of world pulp production , old - growth forests 9 percent , and second - and third - and more generation forests account for the rest .

The FSC ( Forest Stewardship Council ) , SFI ( Sustainable Forestry Initiative ) , PEFC ( Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification ) , and other bodies certify paper made from trees harvested according to guidelines meant to ensure good forestry practices . </P>
