News General news
Against the background of a possible complete lack of gas supplies, the development of "emergency concepts" is currently on the agenda of paper producers.
The producers of corrugated board base paper on recovered paper see the usual functionalities of the market suspended.
Although a gap in orders has opened up and stocks have soared, there is still talk of a seller's market with a view to the uncertain future. The market for cartonboard/folding cartons continued to normalise in mid-July - albeit at an unchanged high level. The kraft sack paper industry looks back on a turbulent second quarter.
Prices, especially for brown paper, have risen significantly again since April and from July onwards there are further mark-ups. As expected, recovered paper prices continued to rise significantly in June. However, reports from the market indicate a trend reversal for July.
