AF&PA Kicks-Off 2010 Recycling Awards Contest

WASHINGTON—The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) has launched its 2010 Recycling Awards program and invited the nation’s business, community, and school paper recycling programs to compete for national recognition.

In 2008, a record-high 57.4 percent of paper was recovered for recycling, but there is more that can be done. Reaching the industry’s 60 percent recovery goal by 2012 will require the on-going dedication of the millions of Americans who recycle paper every day at work, school, and at home.
