Raw materials used for the production of kraft liners include old corrugated containers (OCC) and virgin fibers. These raw materials are mixed in a ratio of 80% OCC and 20% virgin fibers. Traditionally, the kraft liners were made with virgin fibers; however, rising preference for low-cost and eco-friendly products has led to the use of recycled materials.

OCC dominate the composition in the final product, thereby impacting its quality levels. OCC is used to minimize the overall production cost and to provide strength to the final product. Thus, the procurement of superior quality OCC, especially through single stream channel, plays a crucial role in the product value chain.

Unstable prices of raw materials have resulted in price variations for kraft liners, thus, affecting the profit margins of manufacturers. The kraft liners require several processes to produce a variety of GSM grades resulting in higher production cost. Major players operating in the industry are engaged in mass manufacturing, thereby, reducing the overall cost of the production.

The incomplete recovery of old corrugated containers can be attributed to the quality of materials as well as their availability. As the OCC sources are remotely situated and the storage conditions are insufficient to maintain the quality of the materials, the recovery remains unfulfilled and thus is expected to hamper growth of the kraft liner market over the forecast period.
