Yes, butter paper is a term for making paper oil resistant. It is standard cellulose paper with a process called "parchmentising" that melts the cellulose into a gel state making the normally long fibers spread out making them less permeable. You can treat it like regular parchment paper for the oven. Works just fine. ( I just put it in the oven alone and it just started to brown at 375after 30 minutes on the edges)

There is no record of who first recycled paper. It was part of the original paper making process as it developed in Europe. It may have originated earlier with paper making in Asia, but I do not know about this. When paper making was developed, during the Middle Ages, the paper was made mostly from recycled linen rags. At that time, paper was used as a replacement for vellum, which was very expensive, or such materials as papyrus, which decomposed easily. This made paper a valuable product, and any paper that could be recycled was reused in the paper making process.
