According to the FSC, the United States is the largest market in the world for paper products.  It produces 90 million tons of paper annually and consumes about 100 million tons. While recycling paper reduces the need for virgin timber, only 35 percent of current consumption is met by using recycled fiber. By upholding FSC standards, companies can help sustain forests worldwide.
