Carton standard

Origin: Algeria.

Our standard cardboard sourcing focuses on high-quality recovered fiber, primarily categorized as Old Corrugated Containers (OCC). This material is selected for its high cellulose fiber length, which is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of recycled paper products. By maintaining a purity level between 95% and 99%, we ensure that the feedstock is largely free from prohibitive materials such as plastics, foils, and excessive waxes, allowing for efficient pulping and minimal waste during the recycling process.

Arzak Alae utilizes an extensive global network to source material from post-industrial and post-consumer streams. Each batch undergoes rigorous sorting and baling processes at modern recovery facilities. The resulting bales are highly compressed and wire-bound, optimized for international shipping density. This level of quality control ensures that our clients receive a consistent input material that meets international standards for moisture content and outthrow limits, reducing the need for additional on-site sorting.

The global demand for sustainable packaging has positioned standard cardboard as a critical commodity in the circular economy. Major paper mills and packaging manufacturers rely on steady volumes of OCC to produce new linerboard and corrugated mediums. Sourcing through a dedicated trading partner like Arzak Alae provides buyers with a stabilized supply chain, mitigating the volatility of the global scrap market. We manage the complexities of international trade, including quality inspections and maritime logistics, ensuring that the material arrives at your facility on time and within specification.

Typical buyers of this grade include large-scale pulp mills specializing in recycled content, industrial manufacturers producing protective packaging, and companies involved in the production of core and tube paperboard. By leveraging our logistics expertise, we can facilitate bulk shipments across major trade routes, providing the scale necessary for high-capacity industrial operations while maintaining a focus on environmental compliance and material traceability.
