core tip: the price trend of imported waste paper in the first half of 2017 showed a "V" shape, mainly affected by supply and demand. The second half of the year was greatly affected by the policy, and the price of foreign waste fell to a low level. There are many uncertainties in the import of waste paper in 2018.

[China Packaging News] in the first half of 2017, the price trend of imported waste paper showed a "V" shape, which was mainly affected by supply and demand. The second half of the year was greatly affected by the policy, and the price of foreign waste fell to a low level. There are many uncertainties in the import of waste paper in 2018. The implementation of commodity inspection and customs in the later stage and the approval process of import license by the Ministry of environmental protection will have a great impact on the market, which needs to be paid special attention

the new foreign waste policy actually reduces the demand for foreign waste

on July 20, the Ministry of environmental protection held a regular press conference, which revealed that before the end of 2017, China will no longer import 24 types of foreign waste, including waste plastics, paper, vanadium slag, textiles and so on. Among them, the waste paper whose tariff number is unsorted is prohibited from import. From late May to the end of the year, the import license has not been approved, the import of paper mills is limited, the demand is weakened, and the price of foreign waste is at a low level, which is seriously linked with national waste. After August, the import volume (5) the number of manufacturers that took out the test pieces gradually increased, resulting in the weakening of domestic paper mills' demand for foreign waste, and the price of foreign waste fell to a low level

policy risks regulate both supply and demand at the same time

near the end of the year, policies related to the import of waste paper have been announced. The official draft of the regulations on the administration of environmental protection of imported waste paper has finally been implemented, which stipulates that "the processing and utilization enterprise applying for the license of imported waste paper should be a production enterprise using waste paper as raw material, the production capacity of the enterprise should not be less than 50000 tons/year, and it should have pulping, papermaking and other production and processing equipment suitable for the processing and utilization capacity", and the import agency qualification of trading units should be cancelled. The environmental protection control standard for imported solid waste that can be used as raw materials was officially released, and the proportion of other inclusions in imported waste paper was officially revised from 1.5% to 0.5%, and it was determined to be implemented on March 1, 2018. The above policies show that China has never wavered in its determination to prohibit the entry of foreign garbage and promote the reform of solid waste import management system

since late December, the first batch of import licenses in 2018 has been publicized, and the approval volume is only 3.0763 million tons, a significant decrease over previous years. Most paper mills have not obtained the license, so they are cautious in placing orders. In addition, since March 1, the incombustible inorganic/organic composite foaming insulation materials and incombustible exterior wall insulation and decoration board system will implement the inclusion rate standard of 0.5%, and the market wait-and-see atmosphere will be more intense. It is estimated that the futures market price of imported waste paper in the first quarter of 2018 is still low. How can we choose that? The following is the selection criteria: insufficient inflation power

at present, foreign countries mostly adopt the sorting method of combining manual and machine. For the 0.5% inclusion rate standard formulated by China, foreign suppliers mostly reflect that this standard is very strict. Affected by this, suppliers have two ideas: one is to increase the sorting cost and improve the precision of sorting to meet Chinese standards; The second is to export waste paper that fails to meet China's quality inspection standards to Southeast Asian countries with lower quality inspection standards. However, China, as the world's largest waste paper demander, imports far more than other Southeast Asian countries, so the first idea may be more applicable to foreign suppliers. In the long run, in order to meet the demand and increase the sorting cost, the paper mill may prefer to purchase high-specification waste paper for the sake of insurance. In the later stage, the price of high-specification waste paper, such as 9 #, 13 # offer, will be increased. He said that there is more space

on the whole, there are many uncertainties in the import of waste paper in 2018. The implementation of commodity inspection and customs in the later stage and the process of approval of import licenses by the Ministry of environmental protection will have a great impact on the market, which requires special attention
