#1 US exporter - waste paper to China

People may find with surprise that that the number one post is taken by a wastepaper exporter to China. America Chung Nam Inc was founded by a husband-and-wife Chinese immigrants couple. They now export more than 20,000 TEUs (20' container equivilent unit) of waste paper to China. A big part of these waste paper come back as cartons packed with commodities imported by companies like Wal-mart. (The pollution is left in China. Hopefully Chinese have regulation, fund plus technology to address this problem.) The way American people consuming paper is amaizing.

One very interesting thing is that this #1 exporter in the US has not set up a website yet. They have a domain name though www.acni.net. I checked that this domain name is registered in 1998. Apparently, a website is not necessary for America Chung Nam, otherwise this #1 company can easy put up a very fancy one with all kind of state-of-the-art technology in planning, tracking, booking and back-office system. By the way, I estimate that this company pays about $500 - $600 million for transportation cost per year. They have their own fleet and logistic facilities.

I found another waste paper exporter (30,000 TEUs) a year, ranked # 25 US exporter in 2005. The URL is www.geocities.co.jp/wallstreet/4228/yaoyang.htm. Isn't that interesting for such a "big" company?
