Only 6 suppliers are actively listing Cardboard Waste, and none have updated their listings in the last 30 days — just one did in the last 90. This small supplier base means each conversation carries significant weight, and buyers should expect to engage directly with a few key players rather than browse a broad catalog. There are 18 active listings, which is a modest number for a waste category. While it doesn’t cover every possible type or condition, it still offers a baseline to match basic specs — a buyer can find a starting point without needing to start from scratch. Suppliers come from 6 different countries, with Canada making up just 16.7% of the total. This spread provides some geographic flexibility, though the category remains dominated by a few regional sources — buyers can explore alternatives if one country’s availability or logistics become an issue. Buyer inquiries jumped 100% to 2 in the last 30 days — a sharp increase that signals growing interest. Against a small supplier base, this spike suggests supply may be tightening quickly, making it critical to act fast before the few available suppliers are fully booked.
Freshdi recorded 11 buyer requests for Cardboard Waste globally in the 365 days to 1 November 2026.

How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Cardboard Waste had 1 new listing in the last 30 days, compared to 0 the month before. Only a handful of new listings appear each month, so the catalog changes slowly and older offers remain in place. That means a buyer sees the same offers over time, which can make it harder to find a new price or condition. Check the listing date when comparing offers to see which one is closer to today's market.
Is the market busy?
No supplier joined in the last 12 months, so all current sellers have been on the platform for a long time. The pool is stable and composed entirely of long-standing suppliers, which means each one has a consistent listing history. The lack of new entries means buyers don’t have to evaluate new sellers, but they also don’t have new options to compare. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out.
