Leaders in the paper industry today are leaning towards increasing the volume of waste paper recycling. Because virgin pulp is becoming more and more expensive. The acquisition costs are high. Paper industry profits are declining. Prices are rising for imported raw materials, which also negatively affects the income of producers. Therefore, they want to support those who want to buy used cardboard boxes and other waste paper for recycling. Moreover, there is a desire to support the processing enterprises of their region. Under this condition, it will be possible to provide sources of recycled secondary raw materials for the needs of local industries involved in the manufacture of paper products.
Representatives of the paper and pulp industry often say that the pandemic has caused problems with the supply of primary raw materials. However, scientists point to the fact that it is necessary to look for causes not only in situations that arise at a certain point in time. The world forest fund is depleted. Trees are mercilessly cut down for consumption. An ecological crisis is already brewing, associated with a decrease in forest plantations and an increase in garbage.
Those papermakers who support recycling are doing the right thing. Because they understand that due to secondary raw materials it is possible to increase production volumes and produce very good quality products that are in demand on the modern market. In addition, in this way it will be possible to reduce the amount of accumulated waste. The same waste paper ends up in landfills, where it threatens the environment.
The financial basis for supporting recycling is important. But more importantly, it is this direction that will allow humanity to ensure the purity of the world around us. Paper producers only benefit from recycling. Because they receive inexpensive raw materials for production activities. But along with their desire to support the processing industry, it is necessary to introduce a system that will allow each individual to be involved. As a result, society and business together will make a significant contribution to supporting the recycling of not only waste paper, but also other types of waste that can be returned to production as materials suitable for the manufacture of various products.
