Cost to Produce Recycled Papers Increases

The demand for environmentally friendly papers has been so successful that the growth is chewing away at sources of supply. The primary fibers include Old Corragated Containers (OCC), Old Newspapers (ONP), and Sorted Office Papers (SOP). With a finite supply and robust demand, the cost continues to increase and markets like China (export 11million tons) and India (export 866,000 tons) compete for USA paper mills for fiber. Fiber prices have aggressively increased.
Paper.com recently introduced an environmentally friendly green store on the website featuring thousands of items.
