PaperExchange is open for business 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Prior to PaperExchange, the paper industry did not have a centralised marketplace where buyers and sellers could monitor market prices and trends. Business Model PaperExchange SM enables buyers and sellers to negotiate pricing and directly transact with one another through its marketplace. PaperExchange charges its seller members a commission based on the total notional value of any successful transaction conducted through the site. The proven PaperExchange model delivers new levels of efficiency, convenience, choice and flexibility to the pulp and paper industry.
All paper is bought and sold by members through private, secured transactions.
PaperExchange does not share its list of members nor its transaction information. PaperExchange does not charge buyers to use its site, and does not charge sellers any subscription fees, membership fees, or listing fees. Besides aggregating buyers and sellers in a centralised forum, thereby reducing search time and overall transaction costs for all users, PaperExchange offers value-added services such as logistics and credit. Other site services include facilitation of the purchasing and selling of paper industry equipment, such as converting machines. In addition, PaperExchange provides members with industry-specific content including job listings, industry events information, news headlines, and a resource directory.
