The International Waste Recycling Agency recently announced the following report on the recycling of waste paper market in the first quarter of this year:
United Kingdom
The original forecast of the decline in the recycling waste paper market in the first quarter of this year has not been honored. During this period, the demand for most of the waste paper products remained strong. Last year, the use of waste paper by various paper mills in the United Kingdom decreased slightly. However, if the statistics of pulp exports went into account, the recycling rate of waste paper in the recycled paper industry in the United Kingdom was unprecedentedly high last year.
In March of this year, ocean freight increased, but it has little effect on suppliers because the bulk of the burden is borne by customers. At present, most paper mills in the UK have sufficient stocks of recycled waste paper. Therefore, some small waste paper companies have used incentives to attract customers in order to expand sales. At the same time, the demand for waste paper will continue to flourish. This year, the recycling target for waste paper in the packaging materials industry is set at 59%, plus the newsprint industry's increase in production capacity of 320,000 tons of deinked pulp during the year has been confirmed, so that the waste paper recycling activities in the UK will be greatly expanded in the coming year.
United States
In the first quarter of this year, there was a big improvement in the field of recycled fibers. Waste newspapers and scraps of used corrugated cardboard boxes were scrapped due to stable export demand, low prices, and low collection volume due to seasonal factors. The price of paper rose by 10-15 US dollars per ton.
For waste paper varieties used in deinking pulp, various waste paper white books, selected and used office paper, used paint paper books and various waste white card prints, all recycled paperboard companies are purchased at a price lower than the average price In addition, domestic and export demand has remained strong, and prices have been increased by US$15/ton from the beginning of this year. Suppliers believe that even if domestic demand is insufficient, they can use export to make up for it.
Although the price of pulp has decreased, the price cuts for all kinds of white cuts on behalf of pulp are no more than US$10 per ton. This is because the Asian region does not exceed US$10 per ton. This is because Asian markets, especially the Indian market, continue to maintain strong demand. The kind of waste paper prices will continue to remain stable.
The U.S. recycling waste paper market is estimated to remain strong in the near term, because in the summer, U.S. waste paper collection will generally decrease, and domestic production companies will buy more low-grade waste paper from now on. The exporters also claim that: The demand hasn't really boomed yet, but soon its price will continue to rise and it won't fall.
Finland
Although the volume of inventories of waste newspapers and various waste brochures is slightly surplus, the supply and demand of most recycled waste products are balanced. In addition, the use of waste paper in used corrugated cardboard boxes and other major varieties of various types of paper is good, prices are stable, and inventory is small. It is expected that the changes will not be large in the second quarter of this year.
In the first quarter of this year, the suspension of newsprint companies in Finland affected the consumption of waste newspapers and pamphlets, but the operating rates of various paper cores and tissue paper production companies were quite high, consuming part of recycled paper.
Last year, the consumption of paper and board in Finland was 1.004 million tons, which was a year-on-year drop of 8%. Paper recycling increased by 0.8% to 73.97 million tons, which increased the recycling rate in 2001 from 47% to 73.7%.
France
2001 The situation of the French paper industry is relatively good. Both the output and price of paper and board can be kept stable. At the same time, the supply of raw materials is not a big deal. At the end of last year, the amount of recycled paper stocks in France fell first, reaching 830,000 tons in January this year, which is higher than the monthly average of 811,000 tons last year.
Domestic demand in France increased in the first quarter, and stocks in A4, A5, A1, and A2 remained low. Despite the increase in shipping charges, the export volume is still increasing. It is estimated that by the second quarter of this year, the price will increase, because last year, the prospects for household household paper are very promising.
Germany
In the first quarter of this year, the output of recovered waste paper was relatively low. This was because the citizens of the European Union were temporarily unable to adapt to the reduced consumption of shopping after spending in circulation. In addition, due to the shortage of containers, the amount of waste paper exported to the Far East during this period also decreased. Asian customers absorbed the rising cost of sea freight, making the export prices of waste paper stable.
In Germany, the general supply and demand situation of most recovered waste paper markets is still in balance. However, after the election, there is an exception for old mixed paper and cardboard. In the early part of the first quarter of this year, the demand for recycled waste paper was relatively satisfactory, but due to the shortage of inventory Therefore, it is estimated that an abnormal situation may occur in the next stage.
After the deinking pulp was used, the demand for used high-end books was reduced due to the reduction of usage by some newspaper offices. In January of this year, the demand for export of waste paper was still normal, especially for selected waste paper, paperboard, and various corrugated cardboard boxes. The market price of bulk waste paper did not change, but the price of a few varieties dropped slightly.
Demand for waste paper declined in Germany's domestic papermaking industry in February, but due to the large amount of supply needed for export and the low collection volume, most recovered waste paper industry wastes can maintain a low inventory, only for deinking pulp. The exception to this is the reduction in the number of varieties due to oversupply.
Italy
In addition to low-grade recycled waste paper, the rest of the orders were light. Compared with other countries in the European region, the recovery of the waste paper market in Italy in the two or three months of this year is unlikely to improve. From the paper product market, orders for various kinds of cardboard in Italy were slightly better and generally improved. In the first quarter of this year, the most important market situation for printing paper and packaging papers changed little, and the consumption of waste paper was affected. For other types of waste paper, the trimming condition of mechanical paper was not good. The cut price of full wood pulp paper fell by 5-10%, and various waste paper used for deinking pulp also fell by 10-20%. With the crisis of pulp prices, the price of high-grade wood pulp recycling waste paper has also declined by 10-20%.
Netherlands
As the nation’s general economic situation has reduced the number of waste papers, its collection volume has been declining. The inventory levels of paper and waste paper companies in this year are very low. In the first quarter of this year, the prices of waste paper used for deinking pulp fell due to the suspension of plant operations by newsprint companies in the European region, which is now the lowest in the European market. The demand for waste corrugated cardboard boxes has always been tight, and it is estimated that prices will rise due to shortages in the second quarter of this year.
It is expected that freight rates in the Far East will also increase in April. The Netherlands exported 3.5 million tons of recycled waste paper to the Far East last year. The cost of the next increase will be borne by the cost of waste paper. The Dutch government will sign a new waste paper agreement with the waste paper recycling industry in the near future.
Spain
In the first quarter of this year, the waste paper market, especially used packaging cartons, declined due to the general economic trend. However, the demand for waste paper was also reduced, thus narrowing the gap between the two. The general variety of recycled waste paper stock is very small, but its demand is also lower than last year's average.
At the moment, the price of waste paper in Spain remains stable, but it will certainly be under pressure in April. This is also the case with waste paper used for deinking pulp. The paper companies that use recycled waste paper have very little stock, especially news companies, and they need to import waste paper from France and Britain. Scrap magazines are surplus and will continue to be exported to Asia. The supply of high-grade recycled waste paper was not timely. Although the situation improved in the second half of this year, the price of scrap 1 white paper fell by euro per ton, while other varieties remained relatively stable.
