Article focuses on the downturn or implosion of the fibre markets late 2008 (paper is fibre and is sold on the global market as a commodity).  Urban Impact recently released some information that the markets in fact are returning and demand continues to be strong.  These are all excellent signs that the demand is constant.  Recession in North America and oversees has reduced supply of recycled paper which in turn is increasing prices paid for materials.  We are certainly not out of the woods yet with paper markets, but it is good to see continued interest and improved demand
