No movement

Prices for recovered SOP (sorted office paper) across all U.S. regions remained unchanged from the June buying period to the July buying period.

In fact, recovered SOP prices have remained largely stable in most regions since January’s buying period. The exceptions are the Midwest, where prices declined modestly from the $135-$145 range since January; the Southeast, where prices inched downward from the $145-$155 range; and the Southwest, where they declined from the $140-$150 range.
