China’s
London-based CCIC inspection agency has contacted exporters of material to
China to remind them of the need to ensure that mixed paper sent to the country
does not have contamination...
and
is rejecting shipments that do not meet those standards
.
The action by CCIC comes after increasing
awareness in China of the poorer material as well as tougher customs controls
on the imports of overseas products ranging from scrap metal and waste paper...
Others see the current crackdown as
reflecting the weaker markets for exports with reduced prices and slower demand
meaning that Chinese mills can be more choosy.
