Print Print this article | Send to Colleague

Recovered paper pricing held steady across bulk and almost all grades at U.S. mills, according to a report earlier this week, October 7, by PPI Pulp & Paper Week, San Francisco, Calif., USA.

While export pricing to China in the last month increased $2- $4 on old corrugated containers (OCC), and $8-10 on mixed paper and old newspapers (ONP), there was enough supply so that U.S. mills paid no across-the-board price hikes on any material as of October 7, vs levels on September 5, PPI Pulp & Paper Week reported. No change was reported for U.S. mills on OCC, ONP, and mixed paper. OCC was $115-$125/ton. Mixed office paper (MOP) was $125-$135/ton in the U.S. East, with a high of $155 in the Northeast/New York section.
