COLLECTA Rohstoff GmbH & Co. KG

The European waste paper market is our home!

We trade in waste paper across Europe by purchasing the 'secondary raw material waste paper' from waste paper disposal companies and making the various different qualities available to the paper mills for new production.

As a specialist in medium and better quality recovered paper, we have decades of experience, which enables us to satisfy all customer inquiries.

We are particularly fond of the special varieties. We have the necessary “knowledge” for these “problematic types” to also properly recycle these types (eg plastic-coated materials).

Thanks to our more than 55 years of know-how on the European waste paper market, we are very familiar with the quality and requirements of the paper industry and the waste management industry. As a service provider, we ensure the disposal and supply of the raw material waste paper.

Attention is paid to the special requirements for the respective products in the paper industry, which are based on the high quality standards of the secondary raw material. With the possibility of regular supply of the requested raw material, we as a contractual partner can ensure the production process of the paper mill over longer periods of time.

With our European partners in Scandinavia, France, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Poland and the Benelux countries, we have a market and price overview that goes beyond the borders of Europe, also through the import and export demand. In addition, our managing director Olaf Schäfer is an assessor on the board of the Fachvereinigung Papier, as well as on the board of the BVSE ( Federal Association for Secondary Raw Materials eV ). Our employees regularly visit the European waste paper conferences to complete the overview.

For customer and supplier support in Europe, we have the appropriate employee who can help with their specialist knowledge in German, English, French, Dutch and Italian at any time.

Regular contact on site, both at the points of origin (recycling yards, waste disposal companies) as well as at the paper industry, goes without saying for us in order to optimize the guarantee of quality and the ever increasing requirements.

The complete offer also includes all other services that may arise around the raw material. With our Europe-wide partners we have the possibility to process the goods in the respective condition and to adapt them to the requirements by pressing, shredding or cutting. In doing so, we are happy to fall back on the knowledge of selected waste disposal companies who meet our quality standard.

With our sister company COLLECTA Europe GmbH, we supply printers and other customers with new paper and second-choice products for the paper industry.

We love waste paper, and have been for over 57 years, and look forward to working with you as a partner of COLLECTA Rohstoff.
