About 700 mills in India use waste paper as primary fiber source for paper, paperboard and newsprintproduction. Every year around three million tonnes of waste paper is recovered, which is only 20% of the total.

As on 2013-14, waste paper/ recycled fiber accounts for 65% of the total raw material consumption in papermanufacturing.

Inadequate availability of indigenous waste paper leads to import of waste paper to meet raw materialdemand. As a result, there has been a significant rise in the import bill over the years.

Import of waste paper increased from 5.1 million USD in 1980s to 1 Billion USD in 2011.

In India, 90% of waste paper collection is carried out by “Informal Sector” i.e. rag pickers (Kabariwalas) andlocal hawkers.

At present only 20% of the waste paper generation is collected and recycled, with the remaining going forlandfill.

CURRENT SCENARIO

Transportation logistics play a significant role in Waste Paper trade.

Paper mills seek supply sources within a radius of 400 km from the mills to optimize delivered costof supplies.

Mills have a distinct preference for Waste Paper supplies in baled form over loose materials tominimize handling cost and time at their end.

Waste paper being a volume based commodity requires huge warehouse space – this is veryexpensive investment beyond the reach of small suppliers.

More mechanization in material handling is being attempted to substitute intensive but costly labor involvement.

CURRENT SCENARIO Contd…

Working capital management is a big challenge for Waste Paper suppliers.

Waste paper procurement from the source of generation through the middle level traders is on cash carrybasis.

However, paper mills avail long credits from their suppliers.

This heavily disturbs the working capital cycle of the middle level traders.

In many cases, this leads to heavy churning and exit of many suppliers from business.

Many paper mills do not follow favoured supplier policy – there are no long term contract arrangements withsuppliers.

SOURCE OF WASTE PAPER

REUSE AND RECYCLE

• Out of the total paper waste coming back to the industry….

72% are from household

09% from contractors of printer’s waste

19% from offices and educational institutions.

• The potential for collection of copier paper waste, pre and post consumer waste are enormous, which can help thetotal waste paper consumption to grow substantially and it is the same for other grades too.

IDENTIFIED GAPS IN INDIA

Lack of proper source segregation in our solid waste management.

Role of municipalities is not efficient in the current waste management network.

Lack of awareness of re-use of waste

The culture of re-use of waste material is of late catching up in our society.

Lack of proper collection, transport and storage mechanism.

Lack of large warehouses for storage and sorting of waste paper.

Use of newspaper for packaging and wrapping.

Competition from unorganized sector.

RECYCLING PRACTICES IN WESTERN COUNTRIES

Western countries have well-defined national recycling policies based on “polluter pays”principle.

Governments formulate policy guidelines, directives and make legislations.

Municipal authorities initiate, organise and support sound recycling operations.

Due to this, good collection mechanisms are put in place leading to very high recovery ratesof waste paper.

Thus these countries export waste paper besides sustaining their own domestic demands.

14

WHAT CAN WE DO ?

Explore the possibility of imposing legislation for collection of waste paper.

Proper guidelines, policies and procedures should be formulated by the Ministry ofEnvironment and Forests.

Government may announce incentives to municipalities to meet segregation targets.

Setting up of Public Private Partnership model.

Improvement of collection mechanism through contractual agreement on an annual basisfrom schools, offices, households and rural areas.

WHAT CAN WE DO ? CONTD…

Paper mills can encourage collection and long term supply by investing with their suppliers.

Paper mills to spread awareness amongst the Governments to encourage waste papercollection, thereby ensuring their supply lines and higher recovery rate of used paper.

By encouraging and improving domestic collection and recovery of waste paper, papermills can reduce –

Their Import bill drasticallyCreate employment in our countryReduce Global warming

OPTIMISTIC SCENARIO

Demand for paper is increasing with the upward trend in literacy rate and industrialdevelopment.

Almost all types of paper mills in the country are increasing their production capacity andrenovating their plants

Consumption of paper and paper boards in India is around 17 million tonnes at present andexpected to grow to 25 million tonnes by 2025.

Every one kg increase in per capita consumption results in additional demand of more than onemillion tonnes a year.

With the GST implementation, multiple tax levy system is replaced by a single tax levy which willremove barriers to movement of goods & services, thus improving overall growth and GDP.

Ecological Sustainable Fiscal Social

Become an eco-friendly world-class and technology driven waste paper recycling Nation.

IN THE COURSE OF TIME WE CAN

Transform the unorganized industry profile into an organized business model.

Transform paper recovery methods and recycling technologies in India.

Introduce mechanization and automation in processing waste paper
