Relaunch of White #1 and White #2 recovered paper, FOB Brazil

Fastmarkets has launched FP-RCP-0020 recovered paper, pulp substitutes, white #1, fob Brazil and FP-RCP-0021 recovered paper, deinking / news grade, white #2, fob Brazil on September 2, 2025.

The two prices were discontinued in 2022 due to a lack of activity and sources in this market. 

After a consultation period, from August 4 to September 1, Fastmarkets has decided to relaunch these two white recovered paper markets. 

The relaunch aims to strengthen Fastmarkets’ coverage of the tissue jumbo rolls market in Brazil, given the relevance of the segment and its direct connection to the market and the pricing of recycled tissue jumbo rolls.
