The American Forest & Paper Association released its
December 2012 U.S. Recovered Fiber Monthly Report on Jan. 24.
According to the report, total U.S. industry consumption of
recovered paper in December was 2.38 million tons, less than 1 percent higher
than in November. Receipts decreased for most grades and, coupled with the flat
consumption, caused across-the-board decreases in inventories. Total
consumption in 2012 was 3 percent lower than in 2011.
U.S. exports of recovered paper in November dropped off 4
percent from the strong October figures, though they were still 4 percent
higher than November 2011. Total exports of recovered paper in 2012 were 5
percent lower than in 2011.
