Paper Scrap Market Analysis
The global paper scrap market size reached 185.6 Million Tons in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 229.8 Million Tons, at a projected CAGR of 2.40% during 2023-2032.
- One of the key drivers of the paper scrap industry is the rising demand for recycled paper goods. As environmental awareness grows worldwide, both consumers and companies are looking for sustainable alternatives to virgin paper. This trend is being driven by rigorous environmental legislation and corporate sustainability initiatives that encourage the use of recycled materials to minimize carbon footprints and protect natural resources. As per ResearchGate, in Malaysia, it is projected that 2.3 million tons of recycled materials are released to garbage sites each year, with an RM900 million value. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), 235,816 tons of recovered paper were collected globally, whereas 211,144 tons of paper were reused. However, paper recovery rates in Malaysia remained at around 40%. Only 100,000 tons of newsprint are recovered from the trash stream out of around 250,000 tons produced each year. Recycled paper products, such as packaging materials, office supplies, and newspapers, are becoming increasingly popular due to their environmental benefits. This trend is fueled by developments in recycling technologies, which improve the quality and availability of recycled paper. As more industries commit to sustainable practices, the demand for paper scrap as a raw material for recycled products is expected to continue its upward trajectory, thereby boosting the market significantly.
- Technological advances in recycling technologies are also driving the paper scrap business. Innovations in sorting, cleaning, and processing technology have considerably increased the efficiency and quality of paper recycling. Modern recycling facilities use innovative machinery and automated processes to sort various types of paper scrap more accurately and efficiently. Improved de-inking methods enable the removal of ink and other impurities, yielding higher-quality recycled paper. For instance, as per US Government Accountability Office (GAO), recent advances in sorting technology, one of the physical processes common to both chemical and mechanical recycling technologies is also increasing the efficiency of chemical recycling and lead to increased plastic recycling. For example, artificial intelligence technologies have the potential to increase automated sorting efficiency. Similarly, another advanced technology efficiently sorts materials by identifying their molecular vibrations. Furthermore, advances in chemical and mechanical pulping procedures have increased the strength and durability of recycled fibers, making them acceptable for a wider range of applications. These technical advancements lower the cost of recycling processes while increasing the amount of usable recycled paper.

Product Description
Paper scrap is the term used to describe waste paper products that are gathered for recycling. These materials may originate from garbage that is commercial, industrial, or household in nature. Paper scrap includes different kinds of paper, including cardboard, newspaper, magazine, office paper, and packaging materials. Repurposing these materials to create new paper goods is known as recycling paper scraps, and it helps lower the demand for virgin pulp while protecting natural resources and lowering environmental pollution. When paper is recycled instead of being made from virgin resources, landfill trash is decreased, energy is saved, and greenhouse gas emissions are decreased. These environmental advantages, along with financial incentives and technological breakthroughs in recycling, are what propel the paper scrap business.
