Only 22 suppliers are actively listing Cardboard Waste Paper, and just 3 of them updated their listings in the last 30 days.

With this volume, a buyer is likely to find a close match without needing to start from scratch, though the lack of recent updates suggests the product mix may not be evolving quickly. Suppliers come from 10 different countries, with South Africa making up 18.2% of the total. This geographic spread gives buyers flexibility to source from a variety of regions, which can help with logistics, compliance, or supply chain resilience, even if no single country dominates.

How stable is this supply base?

Is there much new product?
Cardboard Waste Paper had 2 new listings in the last 30 days, up from 1 the month before. The catalog is growing slowly, so the majority of offers remain from earlier periods. Check the listing date when evaluating two similar offers to confirm which one is more current.
Is the market busy?

The pool is dominated by established names with consistent listing history, which makes it easier to assess reliability over time. Fewer new entries mean a buyer’s shortlist will mostly include familiar suppliers. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Cardboard Waste Paper listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 29 October 2026 - 99 active listings, 37 buyer requests, 97 source documents, and 1,100 supply observations from the same period. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Cardboard Waste Paper type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Cardboard Waste Paper, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.
