EN or Not EN

We all know it in uk, EN 643 is the European List of Standard Grades of Paper and Board for Recycling. Revised in 2013, it includes several major improvements, including a grade-specific tolerance level for non-paper component and more detailed descriptions per grade. CEPI advises all organisations and individuals involved in trade with paper and board for recycling to implement and use the updated standard. But do we use it ? no one in China or India recognise it,

We note EN643 but in most levels and at branch level we always want to see the material, check quality and the source, no substitute for ol fashion leg work
