John Renaud, production manager of the Southeast Missourian, recently attended a Missouri Press Association workshop in Columbia on recycled newsprint.

Newspapers that use recycled newsprint are required to file reports documenting use of recycled newsprint by March 1 of each year, starting this year. Newspapers that do not file reports are subject to financial penalties.

Newspapers with circulations of 15,000 or more are being urged by the state to use at least 10 percent recycled fiber content in their newsprint.

The percentage of recycled fiber required will increase 10 percent a year for three years; then, in 2000 and beyond, newspapers of 15,000 or more circulation will be urged to use 50 percent recycled fiber. The requirement is a part of the Solid Wastes Management Law passed in 1990.

The Southeast Missourian is using newsprint with 15 per cent fiber and is attempting to increase that percentage.
