Just Paper Tubes Ltd. (JPT) is advising its stakeholders of an upcoming price adjustment announced by Sonoco, one of the largest suppliers in the paper and packaging industry globally. JPT anticipates this announcement to significantly influence market dynamics and cost bases.
"Effective April 15, 2024, Sonoco will implement a €60 per ton and £50 for the UK market increase for all grades of uncoated recycled paperboard (URB) sold in Europe," according to Sonoco. "This price adjustment has become necessary to offset the higher input cost caused by general inflation and the current challenging economic climate."
