Paper is renewable if the trees it is made from are renewable, that is, if they are logged in a sustainable fashion and new forests are planted and looked after till maturity.
Renewable energy refers to things like wind or sunshine, which keep on coming even if we use them to produce energy.
Other things get used up and don't renew. Paper is made from trees and plant fibers.
So paper is mostly non-renewable. When we use it all up, it's gone! If it is made from plantation timber, or quickly growing plants, like hemp, it can be classed as renewable.
This is not the same as recyclable. All paper is recyclable, that is, it can be used to produce more paper several times before the fibers become too short.
