Paper and cardboard are bought by paper mills, recovered-paper merchants, recyclers and traders. Warehouses, retailers, printers and factories produce steady volumes, which is exactly what buyers want.
The price depends on the grade: clean corrugated cardboard (OCC), white office paper, kraft paper and newspaper each have their own market, and mixed paper sells lowest. Moisture, plastic film, tape, food residue and wax coatings reduce the price. Baled material is much cheaper to transport and therefore worth more.
Before you offer it:
- keep cardboard, office paper and mixed paper apart;
- store it dry and remove film and other foreign materials;
- bale it if your volume allows, and know the weight per bale and per month.
On ReWasteHub, post a Sale listing in Paper & Cardboard and choose the grade. Give the monthly volume, the form (loose or baled) and the location, and add photos. Buyers contact you on the platform, and collection and price are agreed directly between your companies.
