(USA) n its recently-released 48th Annual Survey of Paper, Paperboard, and Pulp Capacity, the American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) states that the decline in recycled paperboard capacity last year followed a string of declines that began in 2001 and were particularly large in 2005 (-4.7 percent) and 2006 (-3.1 percent). However, this year’s survey points to a modest re-expansion of recycled paperboard capacity during the next three years, with increases projected at 1.2 percent this year, 0.5 percent in 2009, and 0.1 percent in 2010.
