The International Waste Utilization Agency (Bu-reau of International Rceycling) recently announced the situation of recycling waste paper market in various countries.
Countries in the Baltic Sea Region: The demand for recycled waste paper has increased. Paper mills in Latvia and Lithuania have purchased large quantities of recycled waste paper to increase their prices slightly. The Horizon Paper mill in Singapore, which has been acquired by a South African company, is expected to have an increase in production capacity.
Czech Republic: The sales of recovered waste paper remained stable in the last quarter of last year. Wastepaper collection companies have little stock in their hands. Except for waste newspapers, used white all-wood pulp papers, discarded coated paperboards, and other types of prices, the prices of other varieties have remained stable. As for the export situation, it is reported that there has been no substantial change. In the first quarter of this year, if the capacity of the paper mills cannot be fully operated, the paper mills may reduce the order of raw materials, and the prices of discarded paperboard and used mixed paper will be under pressure.
France: From the perspective of both quantity and demand, the performance at the end of last year was quite noticeable, and the inventory of recycled waste paper had dropped to a low level. At the end of September last year, the output of paper fell by 5% to approximately 280,000 tons, but its use of secondary fiber raw materials increased by 50,000 tons.
Entering the new year will not be as difficult as analysts expected. Since September last year, finished paper made from recycled waste paper has fallen by 8% globally, and the price of recycled paper has also dropped.
Germany: Several paper and board manufacturers temporarily reduced their production due to reduced orders in early December of last year, which only affected the use of post-election scrap printed publications for deinked pulp, unselected scrap, paperboard, and scrap. For corrugated paperboard boxes, the reduction in the domestic order quantity of paper products using them as raw materials was offset by the strong demand in the Far East. In the same period, the number of paper and cardboard shipped by Germany to France, Holland, Luxembourg, and Belgium increased significantly. The market began to stabilize at the beginning of the fourth quarter of last year and the supply of recycled waste paper increased. Due to the large increase in exports to Southeast Asia, the demand for used recycled and miscellaneous paper exceeds supply. The deinking pulp used in October last year saw a corresponding decrease in demand for paper mills. The supply and demand of used corrugated cardboard boxes was also relatively balanced. However, the situation in December was slightly worse, with some low-grade varieties such as 1.02 waste miscellaneous paper, 1.04 supermarket old corrugated cardboard box and 1.05 waste corrugated cardboard box, and the price dropped by nearly 20%. Due to the sluggish market conditions, all production plants have no money to buy raw materials and inventory is empty. The prices of high-end varieties are relatively balanced. The white trimming and waste newspapers of all wood pulp papers have dropped slightly during the Christmas holidays. In the fourth quarter of last year, the overall situation in the German market was balanced and there was no major change in prices. All kinds of medium and high-end varieties were relatively stable.
The profit status of each variety will vary depending on the market situation. The use of waste paper and paperboard, in particular in terms of exports, will increase in price, while discarded corrugated cardboard boxes will remain in balance. The prices of used and printed books and periodicals used for deinking pulp fluctuate slightly above and below relatively high levels. Demand for high-end varieties is more prosperous and prices stay at a higher level. Demand for low-end varieties in Germany and other regions continued to be stable, with clear performance. Overall, its market is becoming more and more stable.
In terms of exports, China, Turkey, and Ukraine, among others, have shown marked improvement. However, countries in India and the Far East have been slightly worse. Therefore, in January this year, their prices will probably fall.
Netherlands: The recovery of waste paper stocks was low last year due to the slowdown in domestic economic growth. However, due to the extension of the time spent by the paper mills and the reduction in shipments to the demanding Far East region, the Dutch domestic waste paper stocks will increase due to winter holidays. The general variety price may drop slightly in January this year, and many industry experts expect that the demand for waste paper by domestic production plants will remain below the normal level at least in the first quarter of this year, and it will have to wait until the fall before it can rise.
Spain: It was originally expected that stocks will rise slightly in December of last year. However, the stocks held by various collectors are still very small. At the same time, the level of waste paper stocks in the hands of various manufacturers is normal. The packaging paper industry is experiencing a period of sluggish demand and the situation in other paper markets is not satisfactory.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter of last year, scrap prices of waste newspapers, used booklets, and light-weight printing papers were slightly optimistic. The demand for paper mills remained stable until mid-November last year. However, by the beginning of this year, the trend was not clear. Many Spanish production plants were sluggish due to sluggish market demand. In December, they only started production for less than two weeks. This was a blow to the waste paper market. Demand for waste corrugated cardboard boxes, waste newspapers, and used booklets in Europe was greatly reduced.
Although the reduction in the amount of waste paper produced in January this year was favorable for stabilizing its prices, the negative impact of the falling prices of roll wrapping paper, newsprint paper and cardboards at the beginning of last year was even more serious.
United Kingdom: During the Christmas season, many board manufacturers in the United Kingdom were still working at full capacity except on legal holidays. In the last quarter of last year, the waste paper market had a pleasant surprise, although some newsprint production plants stopped organizing high-grade full-paper printing papers. The factory also continued to have problems, but the tissue paper production plants are producing at full capacity, and it is expected that the market will go up in the second quarter of this year.
Inventories of waste paper fell below the warning line in early November last year, and prices have risen since the demand for hoarding stocks increased. According to Packaging Export Recovery Notes: As some exporters increase the shipment volume of packaging products, the export volume of waste packaging papers is kept at a very high level, while the shipping charges to Asia continue to be kept at a relatively low level. Contribute to the sale of waste paper in the area.
United States: In October and November last year, the prices of most of the waste paper products rose. It was only because of the shortage of supply rather than the demand of the production plants. Although in the past two months, in order to support the price of paper, the production plants have stopped taking measures to reduce production. However, due to strong demand for waste paper, countries such as China and South Korea have made the waste paper market increasingly tight. During the New Year, most traders and packagers have threatened to increase prices. As a result, Chinese paper mills are eager to sign purchase contracts, and Indonesian paper mills have begun to purchase waste paper.
The sales situation of deinked pulp waste paper and high-grade waste paper in December last year was stable, but the market of low-grade products had major changes. Due to the increase in ocean freight charges in Asia, the price of waste paper fell a lot. At that time, people generally estimated that 12 In the middle of the month, the sea freight will return to the level of November, but at the end of last year, only a few shipping companies were shipping at the prices in November. Other shipping companies decided to maintain their prices unchanged despite the fact that their business was thin.
Other reasons for the lower prices of low-grade products: The increase in the amount of waste paper produced during the holiday season and the continuous shutdown of various paper mills to stop plant production; Asia’s demand for waste newspapers, used corrugated cardboard boxes, and used mixed paper declined; In order to avoid the spring holidays, paper mills set a date for the shipment of waste paper, which has a great impact on the signing of direct-order contracts.
Countries in the Baltic Sea Region: The demand for recycled waste paper has increased. Paper mills in Latvia and Lithuania have purchased large quantities of recycled waste paper to increase their prices slightly. The Horizon Paper mill in Singapore, which has been acquired by a South African company, is expected to have an increase in production capacity.
