Paper products like napkins and paper plates made from recycled material might have unsafe levels of toxins if the original recycled materials contain toxic inks, etc. How big of a health concern is this? 


EDIT: Not sure how this is too broad -- my goal is to start a discussion about a problem that I have not heard mentioned before.




None, if you can trust your producer, and the safety agency controlling him. 


The problem is more the large water and bleach consumption of the recycling factory, that makes sure your new recycled toilet paper is safe, and the environmentally safe waste disposal of said factory.
