  • Paper recycling mills are modern, large scale industries that

need good quality input in 24/7 production process.

  • Paper recycling mills face increasing quality and fitness for

purpose requirements by end-users.

  • (Paper) recycling has intrinsically increasing marginal cost - can

be mitigated by improving quality and availability of input.

Aligned with resource efficient recycling society

  • Climbing up from “worst” to

“best in class”

  • Between 1991 – 2001 domestic demand

doubled, dependence on imports

– Capacity investments from 2 mt to 5 mt (1991/2011)

  • Systematic work with local authorities to increase

domestic collection

– Between 1991 – 2001 domestic collection doubled, 1991-2011 tripled from 1.7 mt to 4.5 mt (1991/2011)

  • Still import dependent, as exports increase!

  • Paper industry supports recent EU

move to ‘circular economy’

Circular economy: think globally

  • Circular economy should not be

just renaming ‘global economy’

  • Result would be “exporting

pollution” by promoting recycling in regions with lower environmental standards and “importing unemployment” as EU-based producers would suffer in competition.

  • Velocity of the cycle determines resource efficiency

– EU state of the art newspapers back in recycling in 7 days, corrugated boxes cradle to cradle in 14 days

  • Supporting local economy

Circular economy: think globally, act locally

Mandatory use of biomass in European coal-fired power plants Waste incineration plant overcapacity building Co-mingled waste collection expanding in Europe

These scenarios are independent and can cumulate.

Three scenarios looked at with conservative assumptions: Paper is not preferred fuel in normal situations. However,... At risk: 20
