About

Built by veteran paper traders for European mills and global converters.

The problem we built B2BPaper to solve

Every European paper mill produces some volume of surplus stock every month. Off-spec runs that fall outside agreed tolerances. Cancelled orders that arrive too late to re-route. Side trims left over after a wide-format run. Customer rejections that need a new home before they hit the warehouse rent threshold.

For decades the only way to move that surplus has been by phone, by email, by relationship. A few legacy traders have built large books on top of that opacity. The mills give up margin to clear stock. The converters who buy the surplus give up sourcing time and have no way to compare offers. Nobody can audit price, terms, or counterparty risk before the deal closes.

B2BPaper is a transparent marketplace for paper-mill surplus. AI-matched specs, full container fill optimisation, transparent flat commission, FSC chain-of-custody on every lot, transactions that close in days instead of weeks.

What we do, in one sentence

We connect mills with surplus stock to converters who want it, and we make the entire transaction visible to both sides. No hidden margins, no broker game.

How we are different

• Transparent commission. We publish our take rate. Every lot shows you exactly what we charge. The legacy traders never will.
• AI spec matching. Buyer specs are matched against live mill listings every minute. No more "I'll call you when something fits."
• FCL container fill. When your lot is 18 tonnes and a 40ft HC takes 26, we automatically suggest compatible nearby lots that close the gap. Saves the typical converter EUR 800 to 1200 per shipment.
• Surplus Price Index. We publish a free monthly benchmark of surplus discounts to prime, by grade and region. The legacy market has no equivalent. Methodology here.
• Editorial independence. We support an editorially independent industry publication (WorldPaperIndex) with verified mill data and weekly news. Their journalism is not ours to direct.
