About paper or paperboard; waste and scrap, of unbleached kraft paper or paperboard or corrugated paper or paperboard

HS code 470710 covers the trade of waste and scrap of unbleached kraft paper or paperboard, as well as corrugated paper or paperboard. This industry plays a crucial role in the global recycling and paper production supply chain, as it provides a valuable raw material for the manufacturing of new paper and paperboard products. The efficient collection and processing of this waste stream helps to reduce environmental impact and conserve natural resources.

Production process

The main production techniques involved in this industry include the collection, sorting, and processing of waste paper and paperboard. Collected materials are typically baled, shredded, or pulped to prepare them for use as a raw material in new paper production. Advanced sorting and cleaning technologies may also be employed to remove contaminants and ensure the quality of the recycled fiber.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for this industry are the waste and scrap materials of unbleached kraft paper or paperboard, as well as corrugated paper or paperboard. Collection and logistics infrastructure, such as transportation and storage facilities, are also important inputs. Specialized machinery for processing the waste materials, such as shredders, pulpers, and baling equipment, are essential for the industry's operations.

Production outputs

The main output of this industry is the recycled fiber that is used as a raw material for the production of new paper and paperboard products. The recycled fiber can be used in the manufacture of a wide range of 470710 Paper or paperboard; waste and scrap, of unbleached kraft paper or paperboard or corrugated paper or paperboard, as well as other paper-based products such as 480100 Newsprint, in rolls or sheets, 480400 (Kraft paper and paperboard (other than that of heading 48.02); cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibers), and 481910 Cartons, boxes and cases, of corrugated paper or paperboard.
