The Paper Watch
Chatted with Miro Seperic of Recycle America Alliance yesterday. Here are his current observations and thoughts on resale of baled paper.
“Sorted office waste/paper is hot right now. Subject to location fluctuations, the average industry prices are in the $120 - $130 per ton range. I think that the market will improve another $10-$15 a ton during the summer. The tissue business, where the bulk of the paper we bale is directed is very busy. Currently the mills producing these products have orders into October of this year. The other percentage of baled paper goes into the bleached pulp area to be made into recycled paper. That industry too is busy with an expected new mill coming on board in the next year or so. All very positive signs for the time being.
White ledger and CPO grades hold their own in the $185-$190 per ton range with no significant change in sight.”
