Because paper is almost always made from biomaterials, the source was once alive. By the time the material becomes paper, all the cells that were once alive are no longer alive, but you can still see remnants of them if you were to examine the paper with strong enough magnification. By this reasoning paper would be "dead". The term non-living is usually reserved for matter that was never alive in the first place.

What is difference between dead matter and non living thing?
no... dead means 'to be completely and utterly dead', wheras non living means your not alive, but not not necessarily dead...and you might think that a non-living thing was once made up of living things(such as a leopard jacket) but the non-living thig and its materials were put through a process to become something completely new and different.so it isnt necessarily aline nor is it dead.
