Once your paper has been picked up by Huron Paper Stock, it is sorted, compacted, and sent to paper mills throughout the world where it is reprocessed and converted into recycled paper products.

Just as a fine chef needs high quality ingredients for excellent food, a fine paper maker needs high quality ingredients (waste paper) in order to produce high quality marketable paper products. Just as each food ingredient adds a specific characteristic to the menu item, each type of waste paper adds a specific characteristic to the finished paper product. For example, some paper products need long fibers, some need short fibers, some need brightness, some need strength, and some need other qualities for specific uses.

The responsibility for the quality of each type of waste paper used at a paper mill usually depends on a waste paper dealer (Huron Paper Stock) and selected suppliers. Because waste paper is not a manufactured product, a certain amount of error exists. The higher the quality of each grade of waste paper, the easier it is to market that item at a higher price.

To help ensure the most efficient method of waste paper collection, we at Huron Paper Stock spend a lot of time communicating with our customers. We offer free consultation as well as constant industry updates.

Because there are so many different types of waste paper, we try to simplify each waste paper collection program. It is important to realize that many items are subject to individual interpretations. Please review our Grades of Paper link and our FAQ link. For more information or to set up a free consultation, please contact us at 312-829-7456 or via email at:
