Samenvatting

In this research paper we want to explore a new way to handle recovered paper. The purpose of this paper is to understand the situation with China. Since years, this country is the most important market for recovered wastepaper collected in western countries from households. The efforts to get it there, necessitate an enormous number of transport movements, both within Europe and outwards to China and this number is growing exponentially. This paper is the result of a research of an alternative collecting and processing (The WastePaper Mining) concept, which will make a substantial contribution to reducing the number of transport movements and alleviating the pressure on infrastructure capacity. It will have potentially great implications for the collection and movement of recovered paper. On the balance that makes it possible to come a big step nearer to achieving sustainable logistics in the recovered paper sector.
