OCC

• Old Corrugated Cardboard

• Can be baled or palletized

• Baled with 4 steel wires per bale, each tagged with shipper name and address

• Average 45-50 bales, minimum 800lb per bale

• No pallets in load

• Must have appropriate moisture content, be corrugated (made of multiple layers to improve product strength), and have a low level of filler (generally <3%).

Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine) license, which allows us to buy and sell recyclables directly in China, with permission from the

Chinese government.

• Lower grade, non corrugated (a.k.a. “brown”) paper is in high demand.
