RISI announces topics for December China event

United States-based forest product information services firm RISI, the organizers of the 5th Annual RISI China International Recycled Fiber Conference, have announced a series of topics to be addressed at the event, which takes place Dec. 8-9 in Zhuhai, China.

RISI says statistics from the China Paper Association show the output of containerboard, corrugated medium and coated boxboard in that nation has exceeded 60 million tons (excluding some local papermaking enterprises that are not counted), and production of packaging paperboard continues to grow at a 4-to-6 percent rate.

The import volume of recovered paper in China, meanwhile, is relatively stable in recent years at 28.5 million tons to 29.5 million tons, and total quantity of domestic recycled recovered paper has slightly increased to nearly 50 million tons.

Over the past decade, the proportion of recycled-content pulp for production of paper and paperboard in China has increased nearly 15 percent to 65.2 percent. In this year’s conference, RISI says it will ask panelists to discuss these topics and others, including:

• In 2015, the total quantity of scrap paper collected in China showed a negative growth of nearly 1 percent. Has paper collection in China reached a “ceiling?"
• From January to June in 2016, the total output of paper making in China grew by 3.38% on a year-on-year basis; tissue and printing paper showed a negative growth and only corrugated paper and corrugated paper box grew (3.75 percent and 7.72 percent respectively). How will the upstream market (containerboard and corrugated medium production) influence the paper recycling industry?
• Industry trend: with product quality and profitability of large-scale enterprises improving, will a future development trend be “industrial chain integration?” What pressure will small and mid-sized packaging paperboard manufacturers face? How will they turn pressure into a driving force for development?
• How will American and European single-stream recycling way influence the quality and price of imported scrap paper?
• How will the production of packaging paper, utilization of recovered fiber and consumption in Vietnam, Thailand and other nearby nations influence China’s domestic market?

SENNEBOGEN 340G telehandler improves the view in Macon County, NC

An elevated cab is one of several features improving operational efficiency at the Macon County Solid Waste Management agency in North Carolina. When it comes to waste management, efficiency, safety and reliability are priorities driving decisions from day one, according to staff members of the Macon County Solid Waste Management Department in western North Carolina. The agency operates a recycling plant in a facility originally designed to bale incoming materials. More recently, the building has undergone significant transformations centered around one machine: a SENNEBOGEN telehandler (telescopic handler).
