About the Old Corrugated Containers Index
OCC (Old Corrugated Containers) is recovered corrugated fibre — the primary raw material for testliner and corrugating medium production. It is the single most important cost driver in the corrugated packaging supply chain. PackIndex tracks OCC weekly and it directly drives the CORR, DISP, and TUBE L3 indices.
