Recycled corrugated case material prices in Germany down again

Already early in October it was clear that September prices for recycled corrugated case material in Germany could not be maintained. The majority of respondents said prices had fallen by around €20/t in October while white testliner declined by about €10/t. Since several market participants were expecting recovered paper prices to sink further in November, it remained to be seen what effect this would have on recycled corrugated case material prices, EUWID was told. Furthermore high inventory levels, short-term availability and slow export business were still shaping the market.
