material used...
La phrase "le matériel utilisé dans ce document est recyclé à 50%" ne me semble pas terrible. Auriez-vous des idées pour l'exprimer autrement?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Il est question du papier uniquement, puisqu'on parle des encres après.

La phrase originale est ambiguë. The " material used in this document" devrait signifier "la matière, le contenu du document". Ce n'est pas le cas manifestement.

Pour être complet, il faudrait dire "sur un support obtenu à partir de 50% de fibres recyclées", mais bon. Tu es payée au mot source ou cible?
Je n'ose pas dire "papier", parce qu'il y a aussi la couverture.

J'avais aussi trouvé:
The material used in this document is 50%
recycled. It is produced using vegetable based
inks and is printed by gnagna – a Carbon
Neutral Printer.
Tu remarqueras qu'après recycled, il y a un point et non un signe deux-points. On ne parle que du papier. Le document n'est pas imprimé pas sur du vinyle ou du triplex marin.

Je ne suis pas d'accord avec "ce document est constitué par". Le document n'est pas composé de substances recyclées. C'est le support du document (le papier) qui est en fibres recyclées. Et cela ne concerne pas les encres, lequelles ne sont pas recyclables dans le sens récupérables après usage.

A voir en fonction du contexte.
Discussion
Je suppose donc qu'on ne parle pas seulement du papier mais aussi de l'encre?
