The global recovered paper market enters Q4 2026 with several key signals across OCC, DSOCC, Mixed Paper, ONP, and writing and printing recovered grades.
OCC AND DSOCC
Asian mill restocking window opening in October and November ahead of the Chinese New Year Q1 production cutback. North American availability improving as Q4 retail collection volumes rise. DSOCC premium holding on clean furnish demand from linerboard mills.
MIXED PAPER
Sorting technology improvements at North American and European MRFs are improving quality. Key buyers: Indian tissue mills and recycled paperboard producers. Quality variability remains the key challenge for mixed paper trade.
ONP - OLD NEWSPRINT
ONP volumes declining structurally as print media readership falls. Asian deinking mills that historically depended on North American and European ONP are increasingly substituting with mixed office waste and sorted residential paper grades.
WRITING AND PRINTING RECOVERED GRADES
Sorted office paper and post-consumer writing and printing grades are in growing demand as EPR mandates in Europe and Asia accelerate the transition to recycled content in office paper and tissue production.
