Various reports appear on the Internet from time to time. This time, a report has appeared on how much waste paper the United States exported last year. It turns out that export volumes have decreased. The decline was approximately 14 percent. Researchers claim that this is the lowest volume if we analyze the situation over the past 10 years. Experts believe that China’s actions led to the reduction. This famous Asian country has introduced several restrictions on the waste import process. Currently, India occupies a leading position in the export of waste paper, including OCC 11 waste paper.
The situation with exports is not as critical as it seems at first glance. The processing industry is actively developing in many countries. As a result, less waste paper is exported abroad than before fewer recycling plants operated on the territory of states. The reduction in waste paper exports due to the development of the recycling sector, on the contrary, is good news for society. On the other hand, those involved in the relevant business are unlikely to be happy with the development of the situation regarding exports. However, it is important to understand that it is better if there are more factories in the world capable of recycling used waste paper. Then our world will become much cleaner.
