Paper Recycling Remains High

In light of new revelations about the extent of global warming, consumers 
are putting new pressure on companies to provide environmentally friendly 
products and services. And while the shift to becoming a "green" business
is time-consuming and potentially costly, there are many advantages to 
reap.

Meanwhile, consumers are doing there part. American Forest and Paper Association (AF&PA) reported that 56% of the paper consumed in America was recovered for recycling in 2007. This statistic is ahead of schedule - and therefore AFPA set a new goal of 60% recovery by 2012.
The 54.3million tons of paper recovered in 2007 equates to 360 pounds for every American.

Websites such as Paper.com market recycled papers. The thousands of Green Papers stocked for immediate shipment range from 30 to 100% produced from recycled fibers.
