Nine Dragons, **China's largest recovered paper consumer**, had sales of $4.3 billion ($US) in its last fiscal year. This was up 11.4 percent from the previous year. Gross profits of $688 million rose 2.6 percent. The company sold 8.9 million metric tons of recycled paper and paperboard produced on 33 machines at mills located in six regions of China. The company's design capacity is 11.5 million metric tons annually, although this will rise to 14.0 million tons by June 2014.

How does can government and industry produce high performance in product stewardship programs? What are the best options for managing **plastic bags and films**? These questions will be answered during the **Product Stewardship Institute's** upcoming [webinar series](http://www.productstewardship.us/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=963).
