Paper and cardboard condition influences buyer suitability and assessment. Explain if material has been exposed to rain, mixed with food waste or combined with plastic and other packaging. These differences should be disclosed before collection. An enquiry about dry, separated cartons describes a different lot from mixed, soiled packaging, even if the estimated weights are similar.
Where practical, keep approved paper material separate from unrelated waste and describe how it is stored. Do not undertake unfamiliar processing simply to prepare an enquiry; photos and a clear explanation are enough to begin the review. If your stock includes coated, laminated or composite material, identify it as such and let the team confirm whether an appropriate buyer route is available.
