Abstract

Recovered paper is a valuable raw material for paper industry at global level. Paper made from recovered paper reduces the demand on wood, uses less energy, water and chemicals, produces less toxic releases and reduces carbon dioxide emissions. During last decade, global demand for recycled fibers increased constantly due to a strong extension of the production capacities based predominantly or entirely on recovered paper, both in Europe and Fare East countries. Furthermore, an increasing competition in the utilization of recovered paper and board for non-papermaking purposes is observed. Obviously, these trends could constitute some barriers to the sustainable use of recovered paper in paper industry. This paper is aiming to analyze the driving forces and barriers for sustainable use of recovered paper in Romanian paper sector. In addition, the paper discusses the benefits of recovered paper use on paper manufacture, as well as on the environment.
