Experts in the US processing market believe that OCC prices will not rise. Until the end of 2022, growth will definitely not happen. It should be noted that in October 2022 the cost of such a product in the US even decreased compared to the previous month. The price has dropped significantly since October 2021. But we are talking about the regional market. As for the world market, everything is ambiguous here. There is price volatility and constant growth in demand. Many recyclers want to buy used cardboard boxes and other OCC options. This is one of the most popular types of waste paper today.
Used cardboard is highly recyclable. The material obtained from it is often sent to the production of new cardboard, which is used to make environmentally friendly packaging. The demand for cardboard waste paper is increasing for a number of reasons. Thus, the festive period requires large volumes of packaging materials from packaging manufacturers. Accordingly, there is a high demand for recycled cardboard waste. As a rule, with a high consumer demand, the number of offers increases. Prices are starting to fall. However, due to the fact that the converting industry in all regions of the world is not able to meet the needs of low-cost cardboard manufacturers, OCC prices may rise.
