Australian Recovered Paper Specifications (AuRPS)(pdf - 222 kb) This handbook aims to:
1. Improve the understanding of issues concerning the quality of recovered paper, and
2. Encourage agreements between suppliers of recovered paper and their end user customers that address important issues of quality and delivery.
AuRPS is not a substitute for individual end user specifications where these are
required. However the specifications provide the most comprehensive and integrated picture to date of the expectations of Australia’s major paper mills.
The guide is Published by the Australian Council of Recyclers with funding from
the National Packaging Covenant Transitional Arrangements Program.
