If the amounts in table 0.1 are converted to kg per citizen2 the following is obtained for 2001:
- Consumption of new paper 254 kg
- Collection of recycled paper 135 kg
- Consumption of recycled paper 75 kg
- Net exports of recycled paper 63 kg
“Statistics of recycled paper and cardboard 2001” shows that:
- compared to 2000, the consumption of new paper increased by 13,000 tons, corresponding to 1%

- compared to 2000, the collection of recycled paper increased by 11,000 tons, corresponding to 2 %
- the collection percentage for 2001 can be assessed at 53 %. In 2000, the collection percentage was also estimated at 53 %
- the Danish paper production of 381,210 tons included 402,668 tons of recycled paper. The consumption of recycled paper exceeds the paper production, because impurities etc. are sorted out during reprocessing
- the prices for all qualities of recycled paper have been stable in 2001.
The consumption of recycled paper at the Danish factories that use recycled paper as well as the production at these factories have declined for the first time since 1994.
