RECENT BIR WORLD RECYCLING CONVENTION

摘要

The recent Bureau of International Recycling(BIR)World Recycling Convention & Exhibition was held in Singapore(19-22 May).Senior figures agreed at the BIR Paper Division meeting on May 20 that short-term pain should give way to longer-term gain for the paper recycling industry.China is engaged in a policy shift which seems likely to bring an end to its supreme dominance as an import market for recovered paper-even though domestic mills have an ongoing requirement for the fibre and are hoping imports will still be possible after the end of this year.Delegates were told that the result of the Chinese government's actions has been to create tumultuous market conditions for exporters in that they have been forced to explore and develop alternative outlets for a large proportion of their recycled products.
