Paper Recovery Decreases Slightly
1 Min Read
Washington — Just less than half — 49.3 percent — of the paper and paperboard that Americans consumed in 2004 was recovered for recycling, according to the Washington-based American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA). In 2003, Americans recycled 50.3 percent of their paper and paperboard, an all-time high, according to AF&PA. The association says that a rebound in paper and paperboard supply and a decline in export demand caused the rate decline. For more information, visit http://www.afandpa.org.
