The sustainability of this supply chain supports environmental responsibility while ensuring a steady, high-quality feedstock for paper remanufacturing.
FAQ's of OCC Grade 12 (Double Sorted OCC / DS OCC):
Q: How is OCC Grade 12 (Double Sorted OCC / DS OCC) processed before export?
A: The OCC Grade 12 is double sorted to remove prohibited and non-recyclable materials such as wax coatings, plastics, and heavily contaminated pieces. The sorted cardboard is then compressed into bales using hydraulic baling machines, ensuring each bale is compact, tied securely with wires, and maintains a moisture content below 12%.
Q: What distinguishes Double Sorted OCC (OCC Grade 12) from other cardboard scrap grades?
A: Double Sorted OCC (Grade 12) undergoes a rigorous sorting process that results in a higher purity of at least 95%. Prohibited materials-like wax-coated or plastic-coated cardboard, and materials with heavy contamination-are strictly excluded, making it highly desirable for recycling and remanufacturing applications.
Q: When is OCC Grade 12 typically used in the recycling process?
A: OCC Grade 12 is used at the beginning stages of recycling, immediately after collection and baling. Its high purity and low moisture content make it an optimal raw material for paper mills and packaging manufacturers who rely on clean, uncontaminated cardboard for producing recycled paper products.
Q: Where is this OCC Grade 12 sourced and supplied from?
A: This specific OCC Grade 12 is collected as post-consumer waste in South Sudan. It is then sorted, baled, and supplied to exporters, suppliers, and traders who distribute it globally, particularly to regions with strong paper and packaging manufacturing industries.
Q: What are the main applications and benefits of using OCC Grade 12 (Double Sorted)?
A: OCC Grade 12 is primarily used in paper remanufacturing, recycling facilities, and packaging industries. Its higher purity and strict quality controls mean fewer impurities in the final recycled product, greater efficiency in processing, and an overall positive environmental impact through effective material recovery.
Q: How are impurities and quality standards maintained for each bale?
A: Each bale is inspected to ensure that impurities-such as plastics, adhesives, and metals-do not exceed 5%. Quality checks focus on moisture content, material type, color uniformity, and odor to guarantee only the highest-grade corrugated cardboard is exported.
