It is proving difficult to implement higher prices on the market for brown recycled corrugated case material in France.
Producers had announced hikes for deliveries as of 1 September in order to pass on the higher costs for recovered paper.

Converters are vehemently opposed to the pricing plans and, given the good availability, do not feel obligated at all to accept higher prices.
