PROCUREMENT + S&OP

From mill plan to market.

Grade requirements, inventory, production priorities, and forward demand become the sourcing plan. ReciTrade develops supply, manages the commercial path, and helps keep the position balanced as conditions change.

01

Align demand

Turn forecast, grade mix, inventory, and maintenance windows into a rolling tonnage requirement.

02

Build supply

Develop qualified origins, agree terms, and widen supply coverage where it improves resilience.

03

Balance the position

Source short tons. Buy or place qualifying excess when grade, timing, and economics line up.

04

Close the loop

Claims, shipment status, supplier performance, and market feedback inform the next planning cycle.

WHEN THE MILL IS SHORT

Protect production continuity.

Add qualified origins, redirect available tons, and move the material needed to close the gap.

WHEN THE MILL IS LONG

Put excess tons back to work.

Qualifying excess can be bought, placed, or redirected into alternate demand instead of sitting against inventory.

Materials we source, place, and rebalance

Paper programs are built around live mill requirements. PET and UBC opportunities are assessed against quality, volume, freight, and end-market demand. This is a working market view, not a fixed catalog.

OCC / DSOCC

Containerboard grades

Spot or recurring programs. Spec, origin, loading plan, and commercial terms confirmed before placement.

SOP / SWL

High-grade furnish

Program supply where cleanliness, quality, and consistency are confirmed against mill requirements.

DLK

Industrial kraft

Clean converting streams offered against confirmed mill spec and program demand.

MIXED / OTHER

Corridor dependent

Handled where buyer spec, freight, and economics line up. Ask the desk for current availability.

PET

Post-consumer PET

Selected bottle-bale and other qualified PET streams where form, quality, volume, freight, and destination demand align.

UBC

Used Beverage Cans

Baled aluminum beverage cans assessed on composition, recoverable yield, loading efficiency, freight, and destination economics.

Tell us where the mill is short—or long.

Grade shortage, fragmented supply, inventory pressure, or excess tons. We start with the operating position and build the sourcing or market path from there.
