RECOVERED PAPER UTILIZATION BY THE PAPER AND PAPERBOARD INDUSTRY

Tables 3a and 3b - Recovered paper utilization rate, recovered paper in fibre use rate and total fibre used for paper and paperboard production, indicate the amounts of recovered paper being used in the paper furnish.

The recovered paper utilization rate, representing how much recovered paper is used in the production of paper and paperboard, shows low values in fibre-rich countries, and high in fibre-poor regions.

Tables 4a and 4b - Composition of recovered paper (in percent) show what are the major grades of paper entering in the flow of recovered paper. On average worldwide, corrugated, solid containers and kraft sack waste account for nearly half of the total recovered paper, while newspaper and magazines grades account for a much lower share of the total.

Tables 5a and 5b - Use of recovered paper by grades in percent show what percentage of recovered paper is used in the production of various paper and paperboard grades. The data indicates that the percentage of recovered paper entering the production of paper is much higher for packaging grades than cultural grades.
