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.
