Notes

India imported the most recovered waste and scrap paper and paperboard fibers from the United States, totaling 3.7 million tons. This is primarily driven by the cost advantage of importing plastic for recycling centers, which is more economical than employing scrap pickers in India. Mexico is the second-largest importer, importing 2.4 million tons, while Malaysia, Canada, and South Korea each import less than 1 million tons of these materials from the United States.
