nachhaltige Quellen

Explanation:
Pretty sure the term used is "nachhaltige Quellen"

"Nach Ansicht der Umweltschützer müssen auch die Regierungen Russlands und Japans dazu beitragen, den illegalen Holzeinschlag einzudämmen. Wichtig sei ein Handelsabkommen, das garantiere, dass Japan ausschließlich russisches Holz aus legalen und nachhaltigen Quellen bezieht."

IOW, the trees chopped down to make the paper-pulp are replaced by more quick-growing trees.

2 hrs confidence:

erneuerbare Rohstoffe

Explanation:
"nachhaltig" = sustainable, which means they are not used but can be "reused", they are not used up.

IMO "erneuerbare Rohstoffe" is the right term, and there are many examples on Google. Actually, I think the author used sustainable, because that's a trendy word. He probably should have used "renewable", since he is talking about trees.
