But instead of the necessary increases, which remain necessary despite the current slight reductions in waste paper, individual cartonboard manufacturers are already reacting nervously on the market, it is said. Instead of talking about increases, producers are said to be granting discounts in order to fill the machines.
For some companies, this approach was "unfortunate" at the present time. They are in a normal summer slump, which is usual for this time of year.
