1. World Leading Exporters 2014 Pulp, Paper and Sawn Timber
Sweden is the world’s second largest combined exporter of paper, pulp and sawn wood products. Exports for sawn wood products have been converted from m³ into tonnes; the factor used is 2 m³= 1 tonnes.
The ranking for the different areas, are as follows:
Pulp, number five after Canada, Brazil, USA and Chile.
Paper, number four after Germany, USA and Finland.
Sawn wood; Number three after Canada and Russia

Production and Exports of Paper 2014
This chart shows paper production and exports by country, the worlds 14 largest producers of paper.
The export ratio varies widely from one country to another. For example, the US export a very small proportion of its production, while countries such as Canada, Sweden and Finland are very export-oriented.
Sweden is the world’s ninth largest producer and the fourth largest exporter of paper 2014, after the US, Germany and Finland.
The worlds total paper production was 406 million tonnes 2014 (2012: 403 million tonnes) and the worlds paper export was for 112 million tonnes for the same period (2013: 110 million tonnes). The worlds paper consumption was 408 million tonnes (2013: 405 million tonnes).

The chart shows wood pulp production and exports for selected countries, the worlds 10 larges producers of pulp and no 12 Germany, no 13 Portugal, no 14 Spain and no 17 Uruguay.
In Sweden and most other countries, relatively small amounts of pulp are exported. Instead, the pulp is converted into paper, which is then exported.
Sweden is the world’s fifth largest producer and the sixth largest exporter of pulp, after Brazil, Canada, the US, Chile and Indonesia.
The worlds total pulp production was 179 million tonnes 2014 (2013: 178 million tonnes) and the worlds pulp export was for million tonnes for the same period (2013: 48 million tonnes).
Chinas total pulp production 2014 was 16.8 million tonnes, of which 9.7 million was wood pulp.

14. Recovery of Paper Products 2014 Per cent of Consumption
World 58
The recovery of paper products varies widely from country to country. Among the reasons for these differences are the market potential for the collected material and the efficiency of each country’s national and local collection organisations.
Globally, the average recovery rate in 2014 was 58 per cent. Despite extensive very sparsely populated areas, Sweden has one of the highest recovery rates in the world. 1.2 million tonnes of paper were collected in This gives a collection ratio – volume of waste paper collected as a percentage of paper consumption – of 64.7 per cent.
Definitions
Collection means utilisation plus export minus import of recovered paper and the changes of recovered paper stock by mills and recovered paper merchants
Recycling rate means percentage of recovered paper utilisation compared to the total paper consumption
Paper consumption means domestic deliveries plus import of paper 20 40 60 80
