How many kg of recycled paper are produced per capita?

Need help with a math problem:

"Every citizen of the German federal republic consumes 93 kg of paper annually for newspapers, magazines, or office supplies!" "The return rate for waste paper in Germany is 75%, of which 70% is recycled!"

100% = 93 kg
75% = 93 / 100 * 75
75% = 69.75 kg

100% = 69.75 kg
70% = 69.75 / 100 * 70
70% = 48,825 kg
Recycling paper = 48,825 kg

These are averages. I don’t belong there. I bought a big pack of paper sometime, and now, 20 years later, I still have one. I guess I’m as economical as I’m with paper, I can even inherit that from my children. I don’t buy magazines either. First of all, a book and that will remain on the shelf forever and three days.
