In 2008, the value of a pound of scrap was three times that of a waste carton. But now, scrap iron has become worthless.
Industry adjustments have caused scrap iron and waste paper to be treated differently. The steel industry is still de-capacity, new steel is also sold out, and scrap steel is not even steel mills willing to “digestâ€. The e-commerce business has detonated the demand for cartons. The price of carton base papers has increased, and used cartons have also become resources for cartons.
Radiator When Scrap Iron Sells
10 yuan a vendor is not happy to close
Mr. Sun, the owner of Shenglong Tianhui Plaza, renovated the new home and replaced the original cast iron heater.
A piece of cast iron radiator weight at least more than 20 kilograms, but the community received the scrap master Zhang looked at the five new cast iron radiator replaced by Sun, said that up to 50 yuan to close away.
Mr. Sun felt a bit of a loss, went to the outside to find the waste collection of the master to "valuation", did not expect the master of waste collection is a scrap iron, are not willing to run a trip, and ultimately he was sold for 50 yuan Master Zhang.
Master Zhang’s waste products received in the community must be resold to material recycling companies in Xiangyang and other places. The recycling price of scrap iron is now around RMB 0.6 per kilogram. Because he still needs to handle, sort, and transport these scrap iron, he collected it. Prices generally do not exceed 0.4 yuan a kilogram, because of this, a radiator price is 10 yuan.
The new steel also does not sell the scrap iron. No one likes it.
A few cents a pound is still no one is willing to accept the market market, let the Zhang master engaged in waste recycling for many years missed the 2008 market, when a kilogram of scrap iron can be sold for three or four dollars, his own profit is also close to 1 yuan . At that time, if someone sold five pieces of cast iron, it would be a rush to call a collection of waste.
“New Steel still does not sell at a price, and scrap iron is not required.†The head of Zhengzhou Tengda Material Recycling Co. said that although the production capacity has been for many years, the problem of overcapacity in the steel industry has not been fundamentally solved.
At present, many iron and steel companies are still in the process of de-capacity, and the demand for scrap iron is very limited. Coupled with the continued decline in iron ore prices in the international market, direct smelting of iron ore is more attractive to companies than recycling scrap metal.
In addition, Xinxiang material recovery company sources mentioned that the large steel mills in the province almost do not have the habit of using scrap, a large number of scrap iron is generally "digested" by small steel plants. However, the recent elimination of backward production capacity in the province, these small steel plants have closed, there is nowhere to scrap iron "digestion", the price is getting lower and lower.
Waste paper box into the carton express carton on the corridor for a long time gone
In contrast to the use of scrap iron in cold weather, waste paper bins have become the "sweet clams" in the eyes of the master of waste collection.
Ms. Li, who lives in an apartment building in West 3rd Ring Road, said that in the previous corridor of the apartment building, there were always cardboard boxes and piles of paper. No one would care, and now the courier box was left in the corridor for a long time. Now.
So many people are willing to pick up cartons, which is inseparable from the increase in the value of waste bins. Ms. Zhu, who often buys waste products in Ms. Li’s residential area, said that at the time of last year, the waste paper box recycling price was only 0.4 yuan a kilogram, and now it has reached 0.8 yuan a kilogram. However, the same waste paper, magazines, newspapers, beverage boxes and other prices did not change much, still about 0.4 yuan per kilogram.
Not only is the "Broken King" collecting waste cartons, but e-commerce companies like JD.com have also started to recycle waste paper cartons. In the northern city of Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Shenzhen.
These waste paper bins are even more expensive for large-scale material recycling companies. The price per kilogram is above 1 yuan, which also makes recycled cartons a profitable business.
E-commerce everywhere to make packaging cartons fast enough
At the same time as the waste paper box price increases, the supply of new cartons is also in short supply.
Wang Yihan, who opened a cosmetic store at Taobao, often orders carton boxes online. However, she recently discovered that a small carton box of 0.2 yuan was out of stock, and the cardboard box company used a red word on the shop's home page to indicate that the price of the product would increase by 20 %.
Henan Business Daily reporter learned from a number of packaging enterprises in Zhengzhou, 0.1 yuan to 0.3 yuan a small cardboard box, many companies are out of stock. Since September last year, carton prices have risen by more than 30%.
“A box of 3 yuan last year was at least 5 yuan this year.†Wu Sheng, manager of Baosheng Packaging, said that the shortage of carton paper is an important reason for the increase in the price of cartons.
Considering environmental protection and other considerations, China shut down a large number of small and medium-sized paper mills in the past year or two. Since 2010, the price of base paper has been very low, and the profits of the entire industry have been meagre. Few capitals are willing to enter.
At the same time, e-commerce has developed rapidly. The demand for various kinds of packaging boxes is very strong. In order to make up for the gap in the original paper, the waste paper boxes that can be recycled to make cartons have become a mustache.
