Non-recycled paper?

Do you have a name of the paper opposite to recycled paper?
I mean that it is usual/normal paper.

I know of no specific term. Non-recycled would definitely work, but that gives me the impression that it has been used but not recycled rather than being "fresh" paper.

Depending on what you wanted to express, you could probably say virgin paper, non-recycled paper, paper made from virgin stock, paper with no recycled content, paper with no post-consumer content, and so on.
