What's the outlook for paper?

Article Abstract:

The recycled paper market in 1994 and 1995 showed instability but its long-range future is good. During those past years, it was affected by negative mill capacity, operating rates, recovery rates, recycled feedstock supply and weather. Price spikes in those years were largely caused by exports. Deinked market pulp, made from recycled office paper waste, comprises the large growth sector. It is sold to stationery and printing paper mills. However, worldwide demand for recycled paper is expected to be 150 million tons in 2000 AD.
