According to new figures from Euwid, prices for recycled corrugated case material in the UK are expected to rise again. Several suppliers announce plans to increase prices as of November.

The announcement of the price increases deceives the converters. Some of them describes it as “profiteering”, according to Euwid, and intends to delay the increases and reduce them, especially as the pound Sterling is very strong at the moment.  

British demand for recycled corrugated case material remains robust and has even improved compared with October, according to Euwid.
