Paper/Board
Paper/board figures reported for this month show a slight decrease of 28,088 tonnes. This is a marked decrease when we compare tonnage from this time last year where over 500,000 tonnes had already been reported in 2021 compared to the 376,000 tonnes reported in 2022 thus far.
With all monthly data in 2021 reporting over 200,000 tonnes in any month this is a significant fall for the material grade with 174,164 tonnes. This may be predominantly due to a clerical error whereby India is currently unable to buy paper from Europe.
