Freshdi Market Insight
Make smarter Recyclable Waste Paper Scrap sourcing decisions with real market data
Recyclable Waste Paper Scrap has 13 suppliers across 7 countries, with South Africa (23.1%), Thailand (23.1%) and Germany (15.4%) leading the supply base, so sourcing from outside these regions is limited. The typical range is USD 49 - 120 per metric ton FOB, with a median of USD 49 per metric ton, meaning most offers start near the lower end of the range. Buyers request FOB more often than suppliers offer it — a 35.9 percentage point gap — so a buyer must explicitly ask for a FOB quote to avoid confusion.

Freshdi Recyclable Waste Paper Scrap suppliers come from 7 countries, led by South Africa at 23.1%, as of 31 October 2026.
Only 13 suppliers are currently active in the Recyclable Waste Paper Scrap category, and none of them updated their listings in the last 30 days — just 3 did so in the last 90 days. This means the supply is stable but slow to evolve, so buyers should treat each supplier as a one-off opportunity rather than a long-term source. A low update rate suggests suppliers may not be actively adjusting to new market demands or buyer preferences. There are 48 active listings for Recyclable Waste Paper Scrap, offering a decent range of specs and grades. While not a deep catalog, the volume is enough that buyers can find a match for standard requirements without needing to start from scratch with custom inquiries. The fact that listings are still active suggests suppliers maintain a consistent presence, even if they’re not refreshing content frequently. Seven countries supply this category, with South Africa accounting for 23.1% of the exporters. This geographic spread gives buyers flexibility to compare sourcing options across regions, though South Africa is the most represented. For buyers concerned about logistics or regulatory differences, the other six countries offer viable alternatives to reduce risk.

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?
Recyclable Waste Paper Scrap had 2 new listings in the last 30 days, up from 1 the month before. The catalog is growing slowly, so the current offers are mostly from the same sellers as before. That means buyers see a consistent set of prices and conditions, with only a small addition of new ones. Check the listing date when comparing offers to see which is closer to today’s market.
Is the market busy?
1 of the 13 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so most of the sellers have a long-standing presence. The pool is stable and built on existing names, which makes it easier to assess each seller’s reliability over time. The small number of new entries limits the variety of new options available. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out.

| India | 21 requests | 6 products | 0.3 |
| Bangladesh | 4 requests | 6 products | 1.5 |
Worldwide, 6 listings meet 77 buyer requests - 0.1 listings per request, so buyers compete for the listings on offer.

FOB is the clearest mismatch: 49.9% of buyer requests ask for it, yet only 14% of listings offer it (13 supply vs 36 demand observations). CIF runs the other way - 72.4% of listings against 35.4% of buyer requests. A supplier able to quote FOB stands out to these buyers.
L/C is the widest payment gap: 28.3% of buyer requests ask for it, yet no current listing offers it (7 supply vs 42 demand observations). T/T runs the other way - 87.6% of listings against 37.8% of buyer requests. Suppliers that accept L/C stand out to buyers.
Buyers ask for UK origin in 5 requests against only 1 listing (5 requests per listing) - an opening for UK suppliers; US origin has 4 requests vs 2 listings (2 per listing); South Africa has 3 requests vs 2 listings (1.5 per listing) - all regions face more requests than listings, so suppliers can gain visibility by targeting these origins.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Recyclable Waste Paper Scrap listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 30 October 2026 - 48 active listings, 13 buyer requests, 6 source documents, and 44 supply observations from the last 90 days. 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 Recyclable Waste Paper Scrap 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 Recyclable Waste Paper Scrap, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Demand-versus-supply differences in trade and payment term shares are stated in percentage points, and origin rows add buyer requests per listing. Each figure carries its market scope - global - beside the number rather than in a footnote.
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.
