Paper consumption set to double by 2015-Indicators-Economy-News-The Economic TimesConsumption of paper in India is set to double from the current 7 million tonnes per annum in the next eight years, according to Indian Paper Manufacturers Association (IPMA).I'm concerned to see that while there have been so many initiatives to reduce paper consumption around the world (and encourage re-use through recycling), India is expected to double its consumption in the next 8 years.
