German RCP prices for mixed paper and supermarket paper and board return to March levels

摘要

After the conclusion of recovered paper contracts in Germany for the current month, forecasts for June have proven accurate and the price increase seen from March to April was retracted again. Industry insiders attribute this primarily to very good availability at the moment and high inventory levels at converters. "We are filled right up to the rafters", said one major packaging paper manufacturer, adding "in some cases we have already had to stop accepting recovered paper". Ongoing sales problems were also reported due to machine downtimes at some mills.
