I doubt that it has the underlying strength that we all hope for. I would expect to see a bit of a plateau until 2012. Interest rate rises will unfortunately govern the recovery rate. As far as <a href="http://www.selectmaterialscom.moonfruit.com/#/demolition/4538844478" rel="nofollow">recycling</a> goes, I still dont think that is being given the platform it needs to be taken seriously by the major countries.

When plants that primarily supply newspaper and phonebook paper are going dark, it is no really due to the poor economy. Rather, they are in the same position as the buggy manufacturers were a century ago. Just as that newfangled automobile replaced the buggy, the new media (including...Blogs!) is hastening the obsolescence of legacy publishers. I could go off on a rant here, but I googled up someone who has already addressed it better than I could : http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/blogs/v/a/vallor/2009/12/rip-the-legacy-media.php What if Pacific Recycling is perhaps too reliant on those news-paper plants to purchase recycled paper? The buggy-whip makers of a century ago would have been able to offer some perspective. I suspect the paper mill article you pointed to is a red herring.
