Best answer:

Answer by Yahzmin: Semiretired
“In 2004 the total volume of paper and paperboard recovered for recycling in the U.S. reached an all-time high of 50.3 million tons. And the overall paper recovery rate edged slightly lower to 49.5 percent due to a slackening in export demand and a rebound in paper and paperboard supply. ”
