Fastmarkets RISI has launched new transaction price assessments for European cartonboard with effect from January 2021.
The new assessments are for coated duplex board (GC2) and white-lined chipboard (GD2) in Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the UK. They will run in parallel with the existing assessments for six months. During this time, a fixed differential established at the launch will be applied between the two assessments.
Fastmarkets RISI will discontinue the current price assessment series for these grades from July 2021.
Additionally, Fastmarkets RISI has decided not to include white-lined chipboard (GD3) in its new transaction price assessments for European cartonboard.
