Operating rates are rising thanks to capacity closures

Largest increases reported in Uncoated Mechanical and Newsprint• Good demand• Sufficient capacity 

reductions

Only minor increases in Coated Mechanical and Uncoated Woodfree

CWF is the only exception• Lack of capacity

Generally, operating rates are expected to keep rising thanks to capacity rationalization
