The price of waste paper increased by 8-10 fold in Europe within a year

All over Europe, the price of corrugated packing materials are increase – states the communication of MAHUSz (Hungarian Association of Corrugated Association).

Serious negative change occured in the European corrugated board market in the recent period. The domestic producers were hit with the lack of waste paper, sharply rising prices, high production costs and the highest energy costs in Europe. As a result, at certain products, base prices increased by 80 percent or higher degrees, which has a direct impact on the evolution of the prices of corrugated products used for packaging.
