The total production of the U.S. paper industry in 1994 was ca 85 million metric tons with a compound aimual growth rate over the previous decade of 2.7%. The domestic production of paper and board plus imports and minus exports maintains a remarkably constant ratio with real gross domestic product in the United States. One sector of the paper industry that has grown at a higher rate than GDP is recycled papers and boards which is projected to grow at 6.8% aimuaHy. Over one-half of paperboard production in the United States is from recycled fiber, and the industry as a whole is expected to achieve 50% recovery rate for paper and board products by the end of the twentieth century (see Recycling, paper).

It is the largest unit worldwide based on solid fuels. The plant has been operating since 1996 and can process up to 2600 ton/day of coal/petcoke fuel mixed with limestone (2 wt%) and produces 180,000 m3/day of raw gas. The annual production of slag (85% of the ash in weight) and fly ash (15% of the ash in weight) are respectively 120,000 ton and 12,000 ton per year. The demonstration project has now attained commercial development with a gross efficiency of 47.2%...

Polymer science and technology have developed tremendously over the last few decades, and the production of polymers and plastics products has increased at a remarkable pace. By the end of 2000, nearly 200 million tons per year of plastic materials were produced worldwide (about 2% of the wood used, and nearly 5% of the oil harvested) to fulfill the ever-growing needs of the plastic age in the industrialized world plastic materials are used at a rate of nearly 100 kg per person per year. Plastic materials with over 250 billion per year contribute about 4% to the gross domestic product in the United States. Plastics have no counterpart in other materials in terms of weight, ease of fabrication, efficient utilization, and economics. 

In 17 6 the wood-charcoal. process, was pll but entirely given, up, and the gross produce.of one hundred and, twenty-one blast furnaces,, was. one hundred. and twenty-four. thousand eight hundred and Bcveptyroine tons, being near to twenty tons weekly for each furnace and in ten years after this, 1806, there were two hundred and twenty-seven blast fiirnaces in this country, one hundred and fifty-nine of which were in active blast at once, and produced two hundred and fifty thousand tons of iron. 

In Franco the quantity entered annually for homo consumption to about 1848, amounted to eighteen or twenty thousand tons. Estimating the present consumption of that country at thhiy thousand tons, that of England at twenty thousand tons, the other Continental nations and America at twenty-five thousand tons, tho gross production would appear to averago at present from seventy to seventy-five thousand tons annually, a quantity which approximates to the present yield of the several smelting works in operation.
