In 2001, each American person used about 574 pounds of paper per year, 45% of which was recycled
Worldwide, about 300 million metric tons of paper and paperboard are produced each year. The U.S. alone produces about 87 million metric tons of paper and paperboard, representing nearly one-third of the world's total production.

Every year, Americans use more than 90 million short tons of paper and paperboard. That's an average of 700 pounds of paper products per person each year.

I'm sorry, I cannot tell you how many the world uses, I have no idea.
