In Japan, the rate of wastepaper used in paper and paperboard in the first half of 2007 was 61.4%. Compared to 2006, it was increased by 0.8%. This is a big progress toward the target "62% by 2010." However, it will be quite difficult to increase the use of wastepaper because we are now facing the material shortage caused by increasing export of wastepaper to China. Therefore, it is necessary to use the wastepaper which has not been used because of the quality issues. To achieve the target and maintain the percentage, the technical progress, such as development of new equipment for wastepaper treatment and recyclable paper products, which can deal with adhesives and UV-ink printed paper are necessary. Recently, a new high-consistency dispersing machine, which can enable to use UV-ink printed paper has been developed. Also, recyclable adhesives and UV-ink have been developed. We hope these new technologies will be effective for increasing the rate of wastepaper use.
