Waste paper refers to any paper that is discarded after being used. These papers can be pre-consumer waste (factory trimmings), or post-consumer waste (newspapers or envelopes from home). Despite becoming increasingly centered on digital alternatives, we're still relying on paper a lot. Let’s look at how people usually start their day. They normally start it by cleaning out their garbage or having a cup of coffee, right? Well, both of these activities produce waste paper in the form of old paper scraps (newspapers) and paper cups, respectively. This reveals how waste paper is a silent yet significant part of our lives. Paper waste comes from various industries, and some of the common waste papers include newspapers, junk mail, posters, toilet paper, packaging materials, etc.
Did you know that 50% of the waste coming from businesses is made up of paper? Not only that, each one of us produces 700 tonnes of waste paper every year. India consumes around 13 MT of paper annually, from which only 25-28% of waste or shredded paper is recycled.
With the incorporation of advanced technologies in the recycling industry, paper waste can be categorised less as "waste" and more as a "raw material" for making new paper. It is a substitute for wood or plant-based fibres used during paper making. That is why waste paper can easily make its way back to the industry through recycling. Most developed countries are recovering their waste paper at a very high percentage. Germany stands at the top in this category with recycling 73% of their paper waste. It is then followed by Sweden, Japan, Western Europe, and the US.
The generation we’re currently in is witnessing a huge rise in the literacy rate of middle-class people, which is possible because of the growing urbanization. The increasing number of educational institutions and industries also has a helping hand in the growing literacy rate, which requires more paper making. This is specifically evident in various developing countries like India and China. However, due to the impact deforestation has on the environment, the world is now shifting towards substituting wood with waste paper in the process of making paper. North America, Latin America, and Europe are some of the countries that are creating a place for themselves in the global trade market of waste paper. North America produces and consumes a significant amount of paper, which is why it has a lot of waste paper as well.
The primary reason why many importers need waste paper is to recycle it. And recycled paper is beneficial in itself because it is much cheaper than paper made from virgin fibre. The paperboard production sector in some countries have only a few virgin fibres, such as Africa and some parts of Asia. These countries rely specifically on waste paper imports to fulfill their domestic demand for papers. Other than these, waste paper has a lot of environmentally friendly benefits that drive the global import of it.
Here is how waste paper or recyclable paper promotes sustainability:
Now that the reasons for increasing waste paper demand have been explored, let’s move on to keeping buyers’ needs at the centre. This is important because buyers close a deal based on the quality of waste paper that you’re providing. So, here is what a waste paper buyer might be expecting from you:
As an exporter of waste paper, there is a wide variety of products that you can further add to your exporting business. This helps you in making your presence in the global market stronger. Let’s have a look at what all related products you can add to scale up:
