Tech/Engineering - Paper / Paper Manufacturing / Forestry
German term or phrase: Frischfaserpapier
Für die Papierbeschaffung gilt über die allgemeinen K.O.-Kriterien hinaus folgendes produkt-spezifische K.O. – Kriterium (bitte bestätigen Sie uns in schriftlicher Form, dass diese Krite-rien – allgemeine sowie produktspezifische - auf Ihre Produkte nicht zutreffen):

Papiere mit *Frischfasern* aus Urwäldern


- Blauer Engel (bei Recyclingpapieren)
- FSC 100% (bei *Frischfaserpapieren*)
- FSC-Mix mit Recyclingsymbol (mit Recycling > 50%).

It's from a questionnaire. Could you just say something like white paper? (because that's what it really is in my understanding)

virgin fibre paper
Explanation:
I don't know whether simply "white paper" is acceptable, but this appears to be a common technical term. See Google link for examples from the UK only; there are a lot more if you search the entire web.

non-recycled fiber paper


Explanation:
This site says:

Virgin Fiber

Non-recycled fiber, which is derived from wood chips after the pulping process.

So, Alan's answer is equivalent.
