Waste paper recycling price rose 1 cents per catty

The price of waste paper has gone up and you can try again! On October 30, at the waste recycling bin under the Laiwu Steel overpass in the northern district of Qingdao, boss Ji Hongjun made a short message and sent it to the guys who had worked with him. Since August, the price of waste paper in this city has finally started to rise after more than a year of continuous downturn. At present, it has risen by more than 200 yuan per ton. Driven by this, the price of scrap iron and plastic waste has also risen. In this regard, people in the industry believe that there has been a significant increase in the price of paper recently, and the trend of oversupply has gradually become.

Investigate prices of finished paper products

Waste paper 5 cents a pound, the amount is particularly large, then the price can be negotiated! On the morning of October 30th, at a waste collection station near Jinsongqi Road, the boss heard that the reporter had a large amount of waste paper and rushed to deliver a cigarette; and next to another scrap purchasing station, the waste paper purchase price had been changed to 1.1. Yuan/kg is up 0.1 yuan per catty compared to August.

Ms. Zhang is the head of material procurement for a company on Nanjing Road. On the delivery note for this month, she discovered that the price of A4 printing paper purchased by the unit was more than RMB 1 per pack higher than that of the previous month, while the price of other paper products was also high. There are different degrees of increase.

Starting from August, only a lot of consumers do not care, did not see too much change! Qingdao Xiangtai Real Estate Co., Ltd. is a paper product distributor in this city. Ms. Dong, a business manager, told reporters that the price of the most widely used white paperboard fell from RMB 7,200/ton last year to RMB 5,400/ton until June of this year. Fine-tuning, and by August is basically a weekly price, now the price has reached 6,500 yuan / ton; cultural paper prices also rose from 4,700 yuan / ton to 5,400 yuan / ton, affected by this, printed business cards, publicity color The price of the page has increased slightly.

Reactive recycling industry is starting to boom

No one had sold it for a while. More recently! Ji Hongjun, the owner of the next acquisition site at Laiwu Steel overpass, clearly felt this change. According to its introduction, last year, the price of waste paper got on a roller coaster, and the price once rose to 2,260 yuan/ton, and then it plunged to 800 yuan/ton. The plunged 1/3 of the waste collection point was suspended due to a loss. Most of the scavengers and recyclers that were originally available were also diverted. Because there is no business, Ji Hongjun’s 14 workers have all left.

Since August, the long-term downturn in waste paper prices has started to rise, which has driven up prices of scrap metals and plastics. Although the increase has not been large, it has made the recycling industry bustling again. Ji Hongjun said that many recovery points that are currently closed are re-recruiting and he is also preparing to call back the guys.

Now that waste paper prices have started to rise, so some waste product acquisition points think of decadence. Ji Hongjun said that the time before the Spring Festival is now the peak season for packaging demand, the price of paper products should continue to increase, and will naturally drive up the purchase price of waste paper.

Analysis of rising prices refracts economic recovery

According to the consulting of several major papermaking companies in China, due to the increase in raw material prices, except for newsprint prices that have remained at 4,000 yuan/ton, the price of other types of paper products has been raised. However, the industry generally believes that the price increase of newsprint papers has become an issue.

Industry analysts believe that the upstream paper waste acquisition is the paper industry, while the paper industry's production of products is mainly for the production of end consumer products such as home appliances, shoes, bags and other manufacturers to do support. With the improvement of business conditions of these enterprises, the demand for paper products has apparently picked up. This demand has also driven up the prices of carton raw materials and downstream waste paper products.

For some acquisition sites and residents' accumulation of waste paper, people in the industry believe that, unlike price plunges, even if the price of waste paper rises is a small, slow process, it is difficult to see the benefits of hoarding in a short time.
