Dear T. L. Diaz,

Magazines are recycled into papers: the principle use is to use it as an enhancement to newspaper recycling. The clay content is a catalyst to the flotation process for deinking magazines. Thereafter, magazine paperstocks are going into other paper uses, containerboard, tissue production, etc.

This will be the case for exports as well,,; however, exports will have other uses the way that all grades of paper have other uses overseas.
