World Recycling Forum: Incredible Hulks

Although China’s government and customs officers have been shoring up their defenses to prevent obsolete computers and television sets from being imported, an exception is being made for end-of-life vehicles. At a session at the World Recycling Forum, held in Hong Kong in mid-November, Scott Horne, general counsel of ISRI (the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Inc.), said a Chinese government official in Beijing had conveyed to him that shredder operators in China’s Jiangsu province had been granted permission to import flattened auto hulks. The policy change was confirmed by scrap recycler and equipment manufacturer Scott Newell of The Shredder Co., Canutillo, Texas, and scrap recycler Michel Dubois of Luxembourg-based Recylux Group, each of whom told attendees they had seen evidence of the new policy.

BIR Autumn Roundtables: Fiber Quality Concerns are in the Mix

Bureau of International Recycling (BIR) Paper Division President Ranjit Baxi of U.K.-based J&H Sales International has expressed concern that, for quality reasons, European recovered fiber exports to China are coming under increasing pressure from material supplied by other regions of the world. If China were to cut back on its imports, Europe was likely to be “the first to suffer,” Baxi told attendees of the BIR Paper Division meeting in Munich in October. Third-quarter GDP growth in China was the slowest in two years, Baxi also noted, calling it proof that even the world’s main driver of demand for recovered fibre has not been immune to the latest economic crisis.
