According to Japanese media reports, due to the rising prices of raw materials / fuels such as pulp and energy, the rising logistics costs, labor costs and the cost of environmental measures, the domestic paper prices of Japanese paper enterprises have risen one after another. Japan Paper announced that from April 1, the price of toilet paper and other household paper products will be increased by more than 10%.

Earlier, Dawang paper announced that the price of household paper such as tissue and toilet paper would be increased by more than 15% from March 22. Maru Fu paper will raise the price of household paper by 15% from March 1. The price increase is mainly for household and commercial household paper. The prices of all products using primary pulp and waste pulp will be increased.

According to the report, due to the rise of digitization and telecommuting, the consumption of printing / information paper has decreased, and the resulting waste paper has also decreased accordingly. It is expected that in the future, due to the scarcity of waste paper, the value will increase, and the price of high-quality waste paper will remain high. The price rise of household paper in Japan is the first time in nearly three years since June 2019, and its rise has also reached an all-time high.
