Report Summary

The aim is to identify opportunities to expand and improve current systems, in addition to examining ways of stimulating market demand for recycled fibre in both traditional and alternative end-use sectors. The potential to increase levels
(volumes, quality, and reliability) of wastepaper collection and the barriers to the increased use of recycled fibres are examined, along with possible methods for overcoming these barriers.
