Waste carbord has gone from
£5 per tone
To

And it is looking like there might be a shortage we are finding it hard at work to purchase shippers the box we put finished goods in to go on to a pallet.
I guess some of this is down to big companies shopping more like Amazon. |

It is due to more wast going to land fill and incineration due to waste from house holds have gone up and is harder to sort due to covid.
So there is less fiber going into the mill's..
So there is less cardboard to make boxes

Lifes departure lounge NN9 Northamptonshire East not West MidlandsMidlands |
When I was a kid in the 1950s we used to collect scrap cardboard, store it in a mates shed, when the shed was full we would sell it to a waste paper company for 3 old pence a lb (£28 per tonne) Happy days.
I am a prolific user of small cardboard boxes and as yet have not noticed a price increase of late, also I do recycle and reuse as many boxes as possible. |

"When you buy cardboard does it come wrapped in cardboard ? If so could they look at changing that ?"
The cardboard boxes I buy are banded in bundles of 25, and yes I do recycle the plastic banding. |

People have massively cut down on plastic use, the result is more cardboard is being used, recycled paper has been reduced due to office closures, and stay at home workers. No new cardboard machines or lines have been put into operation. Result demand sky high, production very low. |

Waste paper prices lag behind virgin pulp prices. Last year pulp prices were still at a fairly high price though slightly lower than the year before. Waste prices over here are also affected by how much we export to china. Energy prices and effluent costs in the mills also have a large effect. Many mills have been taking downtime, a typical mill making paper for the cardboard producers run 24/7 with maintenance shuts of 12hrs every 8 weeks or so. Many have only been able to run for 3 weeks out of 4 due to fall in demand. They dont carry much stock either as JIT is the order of the day for fluting and liners. Its a perfect shitstorm. £35/t has been seen before though, in the early noughties. |

"What is with the horrific spelling by certain individuals in this thread?"
Some people may have dyslexia, which if they have doesn't lessen the points they make ..
Ps, should that not be ' what is it with'? |

It's not Covid it's brexit that's causing it. |

No it's covid as there is not as much waste from offices and the work place for the mill's to work with.
Most house hold waste is going to incineration as you can't have people working with it as it could also me contaminated |
