The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) is the national trade association of the forest products industry. Our companies make products essential for everyday life from renewable and recyclable resources that sustain the environment. In 2008, 57.4 percent of the paper consumed in the U.S. was recovered for recycling, but there is more that can be done. Reaching the industry’s 60 percent recovery goal by 2012 will require the on-going dedication of those who recycle paper every day at work, school, and at home. For educational resources and materials; community, workplace, and school recycling best practices; and a variety of other interactive features, visit paperrecycles.org.
