4.7.8.1 Selective Placement of Recycled Flber<br />
In general. high performance COrrUgated board can be produced with a high<br />
content of recycled fiber provided that fiber is used in strategic locations Recy-<br />
cled materials are best placed in the Corrugated mediums and the inside liners<br />
of multiwall board (e.9. doublewall or triplewall). These non-critical components<br />
may be manufactured from up to 100% recycled fiber without seriously affecting<br />
performance. Recycled content of the corrugated's facings, however, will have a<br />
more dramatic impact on the performance of the combined board. Performance<br />
can best be achieved by using fiber with a recycled content of less than 40% on<br />
the outside facings or liners of Corrugated board.<br />
The inclusion of recycled fiber may serve to reduce the combined board's<br />
bursting Strength, but it has little impact on container compressive Strength<br />
4.7.8.2 The 100% Recycled Symbol<br />
The American Forest Paper Association (AFPA) promotes the use of the 100%<br />
recycled symbol on all paper products that are manufactured with 100% recovered<br />
paper fiber. Containers that are free of contaminants (e.g., corrugated<br />
coatings) should be marked with a symbol. The 100% recycled symbol is shown<br />
in Figure 3.<br />
If part-specific artwork has not been included with the purchase order, the 100%<br />
recycled symbol should be printed near the boxmaker's certificate in approxi-<br />
mately the same size. Markings should appear on bottom major flaps of RSC- or<br />
HSC-type containers, and the width panels of tubes (eg, double-cover pack-<br />
agings).<br />

4.7.8.3 The Recycled Content Symbol<br />
The AFPA recycled content symbol may be used to identify any paper or<br />
paperboard packaging that is manufactured from less than 100% recycled paper<br />
fibers. It is shown in Figure 4 on page 33. The term "total recycled fiber" or<br />
"total recycled paper" may be used in place of "total recovered fiber". This<br />
symbol must state recycled content within 5% (by Weight).
