United Kingdom
In the second quarter of this year, the demand for recycled waste paper was firm.

The British cardboard companies had to switch to the European continent. The market imports recycled waste paper for production needs. At present, most domestic production companies have sufficient orders, and it is estimated that this trend will continue into the third quarter of this year, so waste paper exporters will continue to accept orders from foreign users. The demand for recycling waste paper in the mid-range is quite hot, with most prices rising by nearly 10%.
United States
At the beginning of the second quarter, the recovered waste paper market picked up slowly. It was only active in May, and the price of low-grade recycled waste paper changed daily in early June, which led to some high-grade deinked pulp. Waste paper immediately followed the price increase, and by the end of June, the rise in waste paper continued.
It is noteworthy that the demand for used and recycled junk paper exported to China and India has increased and the price has risen. U.S. domestic paper mills also want to use this waste paper to replace used corrugated cardboard boxes and waste newspapers. As a result, the paper mills complained that the price of paper products failed to increase, but unfortunately the shortage of used newspapers and periodicals was in short supply and they could only accept their price increases.
Since April of this year, the price of used corrugated cardboard boxes has increased by 70 US dollars per ton, and the market trend is very strong. This was due to the strong export demand momentum. By the end of April, the demand for paper mills in the country also increased. The domestic and international demand continued to grow throughout the second quarter. The deinked pulp was kept stable with waste paper, including various waste coating books. After the election, the waste office paper was increased by 15-20 US dollars per ton since April, and the waste paper produced by the company was increased by 1 ton per ton. From $15 to $20, the export of all kinds of white cut edges was particularly strong. Since the beginning of April, the price has been raised by $30 per ton.

In Asia, new capacity for the production of paper and paperboard from recycled pulp went into production, and the demand for waste paper increased. However, due to the limited export volume of waste paper in the United States, the region had to purchase recycled waste paper from the European region. In order to block the export of recycled waste paper, German production plants increased the price of waste paper in June, making the price of certain special varieties the same as the export price.
Italy
At the beginning of this year, the waste paper market was not ideal. The price of deinked pulp used paper and used magazines dropped. The prices of other low-grade waste paper such as A2, A4, and A5 were also unstable. However, since May, prices have risen due to the significant increase in exports to the Far East.

The market demand for deinked pulp waste paper is positive. It is increased by 12 euros per ton in May and by another 18 euros in June.

Turkey
