- Says RISI's Recovered Paper Senior Economist David Clapp

Italy's trash crisis could create an opportunity for China's fifty million tonne recovered paper industry, according to David Clapp, RISI's Recovered Paper Senior Economist. If Italy sold more of their recovered paper to China, says Clapp, "Italy could almost name its price." As the largest buyer of recovered paper in the world, China's demand for recovered fiber is soaring and will continue to rapidly increase thanks to new capacity at recovered paper mills and a booming manufacturing sector.

LONDON, June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Responding to reports in the media that Obecalp, a placebo pill for children, is due to be made available on the UK market, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain's (RPSGB) Chief Scientist, Jayne Lawrence said:

"The RPSGB is concerned that this product is due to be made available on the UK market as a placebo pill to give to children.

"As a dietary supplement, the manufacturers have not been required to carry out clinical trials. Further, the use of this drug indicates that symptoms diagnosis and advice have not been sought from a qualified healthcare professional, which runs the risk of misdiagnosis.

"We are also concerned that giving a child the pill reinforces the wrong message - that tablets are the answer for all of life's aches and pains."
