The recycling price of waste newspapers in Xiamen approaches one yuan

Yesterday, Li Laobo from Lotus Village had finished his morning tea and took home newspapers he had read. Before, he had always read it and discarded it. Behind Lee's “stupid attitude” is the recent increase in waste paper prices. The reporter visited yesterday and found that the waste paper recycling price in Xiamen has now approached 1 yuan/500 grams.

Waste newspaper expensive over winter melon vegetables

"Now there is a small half a catty newspaper, there are more than a kilogram in two or three days, and now can sell nine cents per catty, lost is really a pity." Lee smiled and the old man explained to reporters that they now become "petty" reasons.

Yesterday, Xiao Gao, who lives in the generals, will have piled up old newspapers for more than six months to sell. Unexpectedly, the hawker collecting the waste told her that the purchase price of the old newspaper had risen to 0.8-1.0 yuan/kg. "More expensive than winter melon and green vegetables. Selling a waste of newspapers is enough to buy a few kilograms of meat!" Xiao Gao said with a sigh.

The material recycling company was the largest waste collection company in Xiamen. A person in the company confirmed to reporters yesterday that the current recycling price of waste newspapers is 0.95 yuan/500 g. "If there is no other paper, it can be sold for 1 yuan. ”

The reporter calculated an account and subscribed for a 365-year period of one-year briefing. According to the average of 48 editions each, 500-gram weight for each 5-period, and 1 yuan for 500 grams. Compared to 0.5 yuan per 500 grams in the same period of last year, this year's old newspapers can sell more than 30 yuan more than last year.

Due to the rise of paper prices all the way

Behind the rise in the recovery price of old newspapers is the recent rise in domestic paper prices, statistics show that this year, all kinds of paper prices rose up to 30%. In particular, newsprint, from the second half of last year to the present, with the rise in the prices of international energy and pulp, the price of domestic newsprint has risen from 4,400 yuan/ton in July last year to 6,300 yuan/ton in the present, and has risen by about 43 in one year. %.

Affected by it, waste paper prices have soared. Li, who has done business for the past decade, told reporters that the old newspapers have experienced five or six price increases this year. "Last year old newspapers were only about RMB 0.6 per catty, and now they are about RMB 0.9 per catty, which has nearly doubled."

Not only the old newspaper, the reporter learned yesterday from a waste collection station that the purchase prices of other waste products have also generally risen recently. For example, the purchase price of scrap iron rose from 1.2 yuan per 500 grams at the beginning of the year to the current 1.6 yuan, and every 500 yuan in cardboard shells. Ke also reached 0.7 yuan.
