Indonesia's fiber import rules become more clear

摘要

After months of uncertainty about recovered paper restrictions in Indonesia, the nation's government has opted to evaluate bale contamination using two separate categories. The Southeast Asian country, a major importer of U.S. OCC and mixed paper, will adopt a 0.5% limit on more severe types of contamination, called prohibitives. Correspondence from an inspection agency to recovered fiber exporters, reviewed by Resource Recycling, states that the 0.5% prohibitives limit has been adopted immediately.
