  16. 3. Recovered Paper Quality Issues: Increased Contamination • Recovery rates in Europe and North America are already very high and are close to their economic limit: Source: McKinsey

  17. 3. Recovered Paper Quality Issues: Increased Contamination • The first volumes to be collected are those who are easy to access, cheap and clean • Sourcing additional volumes in regions with high recovery rates leads to inferior recovered paper Source: McKinsey

  18. 3. Recovered Paper Quality Issues: Increased Contamination • Also of importance is how volumes are collected • Co-mingled / single-stream collection is a reason for concern • Via the waste frame directive Europe politically is against this type of collection • Co-mingled collection is still used in several countries • Also, there is a risk of increased use of co-mingled collection

  19. 3. Recovered Paper Quality Issues: Decreasing Fiber Quality • Over the past two decades recovered fiber has replaced wood pulp as the dominant ingredient in paper and board production Source: RISI Outlook for Global Recovered Paper Markets (2012)
