BEDFORD, MA, Sept. 20, 2010 (RISI) - I spent the past few weeks traveling in China, trying to dig up more information about the Chinese recovered paper (RCP) market.

Asia Pulp & Paper (APP), the leading exporter of coated paper from China and Indonesia, received today the lowest combined antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) margin among Chinese exporters, but is still disappointed with the U.S.

New numbers suggest growth in the second quarter was sluggish.

Paper and packaging group Mondi will sell 25,1% of its interest in Israeli-based Mondi Hadera Paper to its joint-venture partner Hadera Paper Ltd for €10,4-million.

Hadera Paper would then hold a 75% interest in the Israeli company, which owned a 145 000-t/y paper mill, which produced office and printing paper for the local market.

Mondi would retain a 25% interest.

The purchase consideration would be satisfied in cash and would be used to reduce Mondi’s net debt.
