Kraft Paper Rolls Recycling Service
We recycle and broker post-industrial kraft paper rolls—including surplus kraft, damaged/rejected/out-of-spec rolls, butt/end-of-rolls, and misprints. If you’re a mill, converter, box plant, or distribution center with roll stock you need to move, we’ll match it to qualified recycling or resale outlets (e.g., linerboard, bag/kraft, parcel/butcher paper, dunnage/void-fill) and coordinate nationwide logistics. Share your roll specs; we’ll return outlet options, pricing method (buy-out or broker), and pickup timing.
What We Accept
Forms: intact rolls, partial rolls, butt/end-of-rolls, off-spec rolls, misprints, light edge damage
Grades: unbleached/bleached kraft, natural/brown, linerboard-weight kraft, bag/kraft, parcel/butcher paper
Specs (helpful): basis weight / caliper or GSM, roll width, OD/diameter, core size (3" or 6"), approximate roll weight, print %
Packaging: pallets or cradle blocks, strapped; labeled rolls preferred
Volumes: pilots from a few rolls; best economics at FTL (20,000 lb+) and multi-load programs
What We Don’t Accept
Post-consumer curbside paper streams
Wet, moldy, or heavily contaminated rolls
Rolls with severe core crush/shaft damage that prevent handling
Mixed loads without labeling/segregation by grade
How It Works

Outlet & pricing plan: resale to converters/void-fill buyers where suitable; repulp at paper mills as needed; transparent buy-out or brokerage
Logistics: LTL/FTL, live load or drop trailer; BOLs, appointments, and special handling if required
Reporting: diversion confirmation and lot-level disposition on request

Case Example
Once per quarter a packaging manufacturer accumulates a truckload worth of off spec or slightly damaged rolls. They send us their inventory sheet, we bid it out to multiple buyers in our network and rebate the company the best price received. The company is comfortable utilizing floor space to store a full truckload because they know once they do, Waste Optima will move it quickly for a good price.
FAQs
Do you buy kraft rolls or broker them? Both. We’ll pursue a buy-out where feasible; otherwise we broker with transparent terms.
Minimum pickup? A few rolls for pilots; best pricing at FTL volumes.
Can you take printed or labeled rolls? Yes—misprints and labeled rolls are acceptable; value depends on print %, cleanliness, and outlet.
What about wet or moldy kraft? Not accepted; light surface moisture may be considered with disclosure and photos.
Which specs matter most? Basis weight/GSM, width, OD, core size, roll weight/count, condition (edge damage, core crush), and moisture/contaminants.
