While the rate shows impressive growth, there is cautionary news as well. The global recession resulted in a sharp decline in demand for paper and recovered fiber, resulting in decreases in consumption and overall tons recovered. The long-term impact of the slowdown will depend on the speed with which the economy rebounds.
