SOUTH KOREA SETS THE EXAMPLE

"If every country recycled as much of its paper as South Korea does, the amount of wood pulp used to produce paper worldwide would drop by one third." Quote from the writer in this link http://ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=46494 Apparently China recycled 33% of its paper while Finland 38%. South Korea leads the pack with 77% followed by the runners-up Germany ,66% . America is undoubtedly the largest user of paper but way behind Korea in the percentage in recycling . However it improved from 25% in 1980 to 50% 2005.
I wonder how is it in Malaysia? If you know give me the facts.
