2008 Recovered Paper Annual Statistics
In 2008, a record-high 57.4 percent of the paper consumed in the U.S. was recovered for recycling. While the rate shows impressive growth, there is cautionary news as well. The global recession resulted in a sharp decline in demand for paper and recovered fiber, resulting in decreases in consumption and overall tons recovered. The long-term impact of the slowdown will depend on the speed with which the economy rebounds.
