Corrugated Box Industry urges government to ban exports of Kraft Paper ANI | Updated: Mar 12, 2021 17:01 IST
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 12 (ANI/NewsVoir): The corrugated box industry has urged the government to ban the exports of Recycled Kraft Paper Pulp Rolls that will help in the availability of raw materials in the country and control the surge in prices.
The industry is reeling under the twin blows of a sharp rise in raw material as well as disruptions in its supply, stated Sandeep Wadhwa, President of the Indian Corrugated Case Manufacturers Association (ICCMA). The exports of Kraft paper from India to China have surged as China has banned import on waste paper from January 1, 2021. Exports from India are in the form of Recycled Kraft Paper Pulp Rolls. This has created a huge shortage of raw material for the domestic corrugated industry, Wadhwa further stated.
