Lack of paper source high cost market difficult to recycle paper

Recently, the relevant departments advocated the use of recycled paper for business cards. The Morning News reporter called some paper mills and asked if they would produce recycled paper. However, they had played in nearly 10 factories, and only two factories had production. Manufacturers said that the market demand is not large, and we produce it only in the warehouse.

Is this really the case? An insider pointed out that the author: This is actually related to the economic interests of the manufacturers. The production of recycled paper has special requirements for equipment and processes, the cost is more expensive than ordinary paper, and some manufacturers are not willing to invest a large sum of money to pick up this “chicken rib”. Secondly, 80% of the raw materials of recycled paper are waste paper, but now it is difficult to supply waste paper. Most of the waste paper is waste newspapers, old books, etc. provided by the waste recycling station, but many of them have been immersed in water before reaching the paper mill and can no longer be used to produce recycled paper. Therefore, paper mills can only introduce high-quality wastes to foreign countries. Paper is used as a raw material for recycled paper, which undoubtedly increases production costs. Over time, some manufacturers no longer produce recycled paper in the immediate economic interest, and it is difficult for the manufacturer to trace the same.

Although the relevant departments have repeatedly stressed that the use of recycled paper can greatly reduce environmental pollution and save wood resources, low-raw materials and high-cost production operations still leave recycled paper in a “grey zone”.
