Chinese recovered paper imports to decline over next 5 Years

  • Publicado el 11 de Abril de 2014

Continued expansion of domestic collection; decelerating recovered paper demand growth and rising prices of imports likely to drive decline. Despite consistent growth of recovered paper (RCP) demand for over a decade, Chinese imports dropped by about 1 million tonnes in 2013. Imports are expected to decline gradually through 2018 due to slowing economic growth, sluggish paper and board demand, new government regulations and limited supply in the exporting regions. These and other key findings were released today in a new study by RISI, the leading information provider for the global forest products industry.

“Over time, fast-growing recovered paper demand and rising recovered paper prices have stimulated China’s domestic recovered paper collection efforts. Now, as we see this trend continuing to grow, more paper and board is staying within the country for domestic collection,” said Hannah Zhao, Study Author, and Senior Economist of Recovered Paper at RISI.

“The real Chinese paper collection rate was estimated to have reached 67% in 2013, with certain regions reaching close to 90%. Therefore, the domestic collection expansion will be limited and China will still continue to import a large amount of recovered paper over the next five years,” continued Zhao.
