Paper Recycling Rate Reaches 68.1%

摘要

The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) has reported that 68.1 percent of paper consumed in the United States was recovered for recycling in 2018. The recovered paper market rebounded after China's import restrictions on recovered products caused the rate to dip in 2017. "U.S. paper recovery for recycling is successful because it is voluntary and market driven," said AF&PA President and CEO Donna Harman. "Industry and consumer commitment to increasing the quantity and quality of paper recovered for recycling contributed to this record-high rate."
