Prices flat on German recovered paper market in April, Far East export market remains quiet

摘要

Prices for all grades on the German recovered paper market remained unchanged in April. The lack of exports to the Far East is the most unusual feature of the current market situation. According to market insiders, this is not due to a shortage of demand, but rather to the fact that exporters cannot get access to containers, even if they are willing to pay the sea freight rates, which have gone up by €500 this month. As a result, some orders from March had not yet been delivered, said one merchant.
