U.S. OCC Prices Flat

Domestic old corrugated container (OCC) prices in the U.S. were essentially flat in May, Wilde reports, down $1/ton to $155/ton. Key drivers are lower OCC generation in April, strong domestic and export demand, and expectation of higher OCC demand from the startup of several new machines in China in the coming months. Export OCC to China was down slightly in May, Wilde adds.
