D in my opinion. The sentence is about the quantity of paper that would be recycled.

D it is.
More than ever, is misleading as it incorrectly points out that it is time based and not quantity based.
Amount , clearly refers to the quantity of paper being recycled.

+1 D We are talking about "the amount of paper", not about the paper. D is more clear.

For those who profess by D, I have a small question. The comparative term ‘ greater’ is to be used strictly with numbers. Where is any number in the topic? The amount here refers to a volume, essentially a non- countable factor. In addition why such a circuitous way of saying as paper that will be recycled this year is expected to be? Can’t we crisply say as paper expected to be recycled this year is?
