And American Paper Institute President Red Cavaney said, the FDA test results closely parallel our own independent studies, results of which will be finalized within the next few days. He also reported that paper industry efforts to reduce further the trace amounts of unwanted dioxin formed in the bleached paper manufacturing process have led to impressive results.
