Welcome to the forum from Las Vegas!
Yes MRF not MILF LOL Where do they send the stuff you get at the MRF? Any word on what will happen if China stops buying low grade plastic and paper? This will be a death blow to MRF's I feel.
Better to be MRF then MILFs....wait..did I just say that?

I know the government is erratic and unpredictable , but they could potentially put themselves in position for the greatest self inflected shot to the foot the world has ever seen. But that's enough politics for the day :)
2. Secondly, IF indeed the sky is going to fall, then their is nothing we can do to stop it anyway. I believe instead , you/we should focus our energy on the things we can control: Our operating costs, and material quality .If you keep running a tight ship, and produce volumes of quality material, there will always be a market for it IMO. Where? Could be anywhere but I would suspect Vietnam would see an immediate increase until a large power player emerges. Just speculation though.
Side note: Any paper experts on the forum? Looking to talk to someone more knowledgeable than myself about Hard and Soft white, and the high end market.
