Descripción

This FAO survey on “Recovered Paper Data, 2006” follows the same format as the 2003 edition.

FAO collected data for the other remaining countries. The survey presents data on recovery, trade and utilization of recovered paper. Historical data for the period 2006 is presented and only a few countries provided projections of recovery and use of recovered paper for the years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The ratios used to analyse the data are those recommended by the Sub-group on Waste Paper Terminology and are defined later in this document. Appendix 1 contains the questionna ire which FAO sent to 46 countries.
