Concerned about the waste paper market

Since the beginning of the 42nd period of 2000, "Paper Weekly" has opened up the "Recovered Paper" section of the domestic market. Every two weeks, an article introducing waste paper was introduced, which focused on the analysis of the international waste paper market, the introduction and selection of imported waste paper suppliers, the judgment and claims of imported waste paper quality in the transaction, and the introduction of Japanese waste paper. , the use of imported old newspapers and periodicals in production, the practice of small and medium-sized enterprises in using imported waste paper, the status of American waste paper in the world, and the establishment of China's domestic waste paper trading standards, etc. After the article was published, we received letters and calls from many readers and made many comments and suggestions on this column. We express our sincere gratitude for this.
In order to make "waste paper columns" better and better, and more close to the readers, we will do a good job of the following: 1. Introduction and analysis of domestic and international market of waste paper; 2. Introduction of national waste paper quality standards guidelines; 3. Waste paper use company special reports; 4, waste paper utilization equipment and chemical additives; 5, waste paper transactions in the case; 6, readers voice. Here also hope that my colleagues in the industry often put forward insights for reference.
China is a large papermaking country. However, our country is a country with scarce forest resources. The raw materials required for papermaking are very scarce. Waste paper has become an important papermaking raw material as a renewable resource. Waste paper can be used as a "second forest" supplement. The shortage of raw materials.
The current waste paper resources in China are far from meeting the needs of domestic papermaking, and the domestic waste paper market is not standardized. First, the phenomenon of wasting waste paper by agencies, enterprises, schools, and individuals is common, and the awareness of saving paper and using waste paper is weak. Second, the recycling of waste paper is weak, and the management and management are backward. There are no corresponding policies and regulations, so the level of recycling is not high. With the reform of the planned economy, the original waste paper acquisition system can no longer meet the booming market economy. The form of private acquisition is already the mainstream of future development. However, because the management department does not have a corresponding management system and laws and regulations, the acquisition of domestic waste paper has become an unordered market. The most obvious manifestations are: low prices, mixed with water Quality, seriously affect the quality of waste paper recycling, threatening the production of paper mills. We hope that this situation will attract the attention of relevant departments and leaders in Shanghai, and will set an important agenda for how to establish local regulations for waste paper management. Third, the quality of domestic waste paper is not high, but this will improve with the improvement of domestic paper grades.
The shortage of domestic waste paper has led to the use of large amounts of foreign exchange imports. From a variety of perspectives, there are generally used newspapers and periodicals used for the production of recycled newsprint, waste corrugated boxboards for the production of cardboard, and garbled paper and white paper trimming for recycled pulp. Judging from the quantity of imports, the United States has become the leader, and one important reason is the long-term stability of its supply. Secondly, imports from Hong Kong, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany are also relatively large. In recent years, Japan has not been far behind in the export of waste paper to China. Since waste paper is a special commodity, some quality problems and claims often occur. After years of practice, China has accumulated some experience in this area. However, there are still many systems and regulations that need to be gradually improved. One thing is that Certainly, waste paper has a large market in our country.
In practice, you will often encounter some common but incomprehensible things. For example, importing waste paper now requires foreign inspection certificates (CCIC inspection and verification) and guarantees. In order to prevent foreign waste and toxic and hazardous substances from entering our country, the State Environmental Protection Administration has established a system of inspection and admission in foreign countries. It should be said that great achievements and progress have been made in recent years. However, there are problems that need to be improved in the actual operation. From the point of view of the quality of imported waste paper in recent years, domestic users generally reflect that the quality of waste paper shipped from the United States and Europe is continuously declining and claims continue. The problems that arise are always inseparable from the basic quality problems such as impurities and moisture exceeding standards. We do not know how the suppliers provide the inspection certificates and how we can obtain them. However, we can be sure that obtaining overseas inspections proves that it will cost money, and this It is included in the supplier's quotation. If there is a quality problem, it will inevitably bring greater losses to the buyer. There is a strange phenomenon here: The waste paper that often makes claims is always qualified for inspection by foreign countries, and the commodity inspection before declaration is also qualified. When receiving goods, it is unqualified. Why is that? There is also a ring guarantee that the national environmental protection department approves the import of waste paper according to the needs of the reporting unit. It also regulates the quantity and port of import, but it is not only approved as an import permit but also is transferable. This is already an open secret for securities, and some companies use the resale ring guarantee exclusively to make profits, just like the approvals and indicators for reselling other imported goods. Obtaining the ring guarantee is not an easy task. All companies and personnel who have made the ring guarantee know the difficulty in obtaining the permit. Therefore, the ring guarantee is even more valuable.
Now, the importer of waste paper is the designated importer. However, these designated units are rarely the operating units and users of waste paper, but are only responsible for signing contracts and issuing letters of credit. To put it bluntly is to give these units a privilege and charge fees accordingly. However, once the unit was punished by the customs for stopping customs declarations because of certain illegal activities, or because the financial problems were frozen by the bank, those units that were entrusted became direct victims. Why can't we cancel these privileges? Is it only the designated responsible unit that can make the waste paper market standard? In order to obtain the inspection certificate for overseas money, the office (or buy) ring guarantees money, the agent imports also need money, and before the customs declaration, it must pay commodity inspection. So many links will inevitably increase the cost of imported waste paper, so reducing the import link is a common voice of papermaking companies.
Enterprises need to make good use of imported waste paper according to their needs. According to the technical requirements for different types of paper, they must strictly purchase the imported waste paper. At the same time, it is also necessary to achieve proper results. Do not use high-grade imported waste paper, resulting in a waste of its value. Carry on a scrutiny and choose carefully, use one or two imported waste paper suppliers relatively fixedly, in order to stabilize product quality.
With the decline in pulp prices in 18 months, the global paper industry has entered a period of adjustment. Waste paper is also being adjusted, seeking a balance between supply and demand. The difference between this year and previous years is that when supply and demand are not balanced, instead of adopting blindly price cuts to maintain production, we use the method of shutting down factories to reduce production. According to news from the United States, at the same time as carton plants, paper mills, and pulp mills continue to reduce production, renewable resource companies have also joined the ranks of shutting down production, reducing inventory, and maintaining price stability. However, Japan, Australia, and Europe have sought to balance domestic supply and demand by increasing the quality of their exports to Asia. Optimistic industry sources believe that in the second half of this year it is expected to bottom out. However, there are indications that after 10 years of growth, the US economy has entered the adjustment stage after the Japanese. This stage will not achieve an ideal due to the reduction of interest rates. The U.S. economy’s prospects are not optimistic. The relevant report of the People’s Bank of China indicated that in the Chinese export market, the U.S. accounted for 40% (including transit trade through Hong Kong and Macau) and Japan accounted for 16%. Therefore, U.S. economic development slowed. It also indirectly affects the packaging industry and the paper industry in China that serve export services. Waste paper, which is the main raw material for packaging paper, and its industry should calmly face the adjustment that has come. In fact, domestic waste paper companies have begun to adjust. According to our knowledge, several well-known waste paper companies have already withdrawn from waste paper operations in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Many industrial companies that use waste paper as the main raw material began to switch production, producing paper products using wood pulp, straw pulp, and retting pulp as the main raw materials, but there are also some new companies that have joined the ranks of waste paper operations in their adjustments. According to the experience of the past ten years, this adjustment has at least reached the turn of the summer and autumn of 2002. Therefore, it is also a challenge to the papermaking industry in China.
The paper industry is in urgent need of waste paper resources. Let us all pay attention to waste paper resources, come up with ideas, think of ways to cultivate the waste paper market, and make full use of waste paper resources. The use of waste paper can be described as "chemical decay." When we use wood to make paper an improvement, when we use recycled paper to regenerate paper, it is an improvement. In the process of using waste paper, we will encounter many new problems. As the waste paper section of Paper Weekly, it is willing to work with everyone to make better use of waste paper.
