Old Corrugated Containers (OCC)

Paper materials that are commonly used for packing electronic goods such as refrigerators and televisions, are afterwards throwed away by the consumers, which results in  generating a large volume of waste paper materials.

ALSECO in collaboration with renowned recycling facilities makes possible scrap paper reuse by means of an accurate selection which prevents cutting down new paper trees and brings down the problem of environmental waste.

ALSECO is a direct exporter of scrap papers, such as occ, hard mix, soft mix and ONP.

Thanks to our collaboration with many renowned producers we are able to supply a large amount of  Metric Tons so we can satisfy our customers’ demands and standard qualities.

For more information don’t hesitate to ask, our team of experienced professionals will be at your disposal.
