1. Apparent consumption of paper and paperboard is the quantity of paper and paperboard consumed within a country without taking into account the changes in stocks. It is thus paper and paperboard production within the country plus imports minus exports.
2. Net trade in converted paper and paperboard products (excluding printed material) is the difference between the imports and exports of converted paper and paperboard products (SITC [Rev. 2] 642 and part of BIN 48). In case imports exceed exports, this factor is positive, and in case exports are higher than imports the factor is negative. This factor is used to adjust the apparent consumption of paper and paperboard in order to arrive at adjusted paper and paperboard consumption.
3. Waste paper collected for re-use means the total quantity of waste paper collected from any sources of supply, in any form and for any kind of major industrial or commercial uses (including also other uses than paper and paperboard manufacturing). Broke, trimmings, tailings, etc., occurring in the paper manufacturing process cycle should, however, be excluded.
The annual volume of waste paper collected for re-use can be estimated by the following sequence shown below:
|
|
|
metric tons |
|
|
recovered paper used domestically for paper and
paperboard |
... |
|
plus |
recovered paper used for purposes other than paper and
paperboard making such as: moulded products, in bulk as wrapping or packaging
material, any other major industrial or commercial purpose |
... |
|
less |
imports of recovered paper for any kind of use |
... |
|
plus |
exports of recovered paper for any kind of use |
... |
|
SUM |
recovered paper collected for re-use |
... |
5 and 6. Exports and imports of recovered paper are the quantities of all kinds of waste paper exported and imported for any kind of use including waste paper market pulp[2] measured in terms of waste paper inputs.
7a. Recovered paper used domestically for purposes other than paper and paperboard making is the quantity of waste paper used for fibre building boards, moulded products, in bulk as wrapping and packaging material or for any other major industrial or commercial use.
7b. Recovered paper used domestically for paper and paperboard making is the net quantity of the waste paper intake at the mill (and excluding all sorting losses) of any kind of waste paper - either locally collected or imported - which is used exclusively in paper and paperboard manufacture including also recovered paper market pulp measured in terms of recovered paper input. (Whenever possible, the quantities of recovered paper should be expressed at 90 percent dryness and should include the losses in repulping and processing into paper and paperboard.) The details under this heading include the following:
i) Old and over-issue newspapers and magazines, telephone directories, brochures, etc., i.e. waste paper containing mainly mechanical pulp.8. Losses in repulping and processing into paper and paperboard is the quantity which is lost as broken fibres, fillers, coatings and other additives when the recovered paper is repulped, as well as the fibre losses in processing the derived recovered paper pulp into paper and paperboard.ii) Corrugated, solid container and kraft sack waste (old and new), i.e. recovered paper containing mainly unbleached sulphate pulp.
iii) Wood-free printing and writing papers, copy paper, computer printouts, and other high-grade qualities, i.e. recovered paper containing mainly bleached chemical pulp.
iv) Mixed grades.
v) All other types of recovered paper.
9. Total fibre used for paper and paperboard is the total input quantity of all types of fibres at 90 percent dryness used for paper and paperboard manufacturing. The fibres can originate from wood (round, split, chips, residues, sawdust, etc.), from non-wood fibrous vegetable materials (bagasse, straw, bamboo, esparto, other reeds and grass, cotton linters, flax, hemp, etc.), from rags and other textile wastes and from recovered paper.
10. Paper and paperboard production is the quantity of all paper and paperboard of commercial quality (fibre building boards not included) produced within a country.
