39 suppliers are actively offering Waste Paper Scrap on the platform, with 8 of them updating their listings in the last 30 days. This shows a steady level of engagement—enough to support competitive pricing and terms, but not a flood of new activity that would suggest oversupply. Buyers can expect consistent follow-up from suppliers who are actively maintaining their profiles, which helps in tracking changes in availability or quality standards. 168 listings are currently active, covering a range of grades and packaging options. This breadth means buyers can find a close match for their specific needs without needing to start from scratch with a custom request. The volume also suggests that suppliers treat this category as a regular part of their operations, not a one-off offering. Suppliers come from 15 different countries, with the United States making up just 17.9% of the total. This wide geographic spread gives buyers flexibility in sourcing—whether they're looking for cost advantages, specific regional processing methods, or alternatives to avoid trade restrictions. It reduces reliance on any single nation’s supply chain and supports more resilient sourcing plans. Buyer inquiries dropped 28.6% to just 5 in the last 30 days compared to the previous period. This sharp decline suggests reduced demand or a temporary slowdown in procurement activity, which may mean suppliers are currently less busy and more available to respond to new inquiries. Buyers might find better lead times and negotiation power right now.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Waste Paper Scrap listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 9 October 2026 - 168 active listings, 39 buyer requests, 97 source documents, and 1,088 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 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 Waste Paper Scrap, 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.
