Abstract
- The article reports that Germany's Töpfer law appears to be strangling Great Britain's paper-recycling industry. The companies paid by German industry to dispose of waste paper have such a glut of the stuff that many are paying German paper makers to take it off their hands. This, in turn, has allowed German paper makers to reduce their costs by as much as 15%. British firms have lowered their prices in an effort to hold on to market share, but are losing money as a result. British paper mills are closing.
