Turn high-volume paper and film waste into a recovered-material revenue stream.
Commercial printers and packaging converters are among the highest generators of clean, baleable fiber and film — material that too often leaves as a disposal cost instead of revenue. ICTV buys your OCC, mixed paper, trim, and film directly through program and spot purchasing, coordinates baler logistics, and provides compliance documentation. Program purchasing with FOB pickup nationwide.
What waste looks like without the right partner.
High-volume disposal cost on recoverable material
Paper and film move through a converting operation in tons per shift. Hauling that volume to landfill or paying a generic recycler well below market means leaving real money on the floor every week.
Clean streams landfilled by default
OCC, white sheet, and clear film coming off a press or laminator are some of the cleanest, most baleable grades in the market. When they get mixed into general waste, a revenue-grade commodity becomes a tipping fee.
Trim, offcuts, and matrix waste with no outlet
Die-cut matrix, edge trim, and offcuts accumulate fast and are awkward to store. Most operations have no consistent buyer who will take them in the volumes and frequency they are produced.
Ink, coating, and adhesive contamination concerns
Coated stock, laminated film, and ink-heavy substrates make operators unsure what is actually recoverable. Without a buyer who grades the material honestly, sellable loads get downgraded or rejected.
The gap between standard service and what printing & packaging converters operations actually need.
Generic haulers pay landfill economics
A standard waste hauler treats your baled fiber as trash with a small rebate. They are not in the commodity market and have no incentive to pay you what clean OCC and film are actually worth.
Spot buyers disappear when the market dips
Opportunistic buyers show up when prices spike and vanish when they soften. A converting line runs every day and needs an outlet that is there every month, not just in a hot market.
No baler or logistics coordination
Most buyers expect you to solve storage, baling, and load scheduling on your own. When loads are not coordinated to your production rhythm, bales pile up and floor space disappears.

Program and spot purchasing for printing and converting operations. Baler coordination and FOB pickup available nationwide. We grade for the most aggressive price based on material quality.
The compliance picture.
What these laws mean for printing & packaging converters — in plain English.
Covered packaging and plastic food service ware may create producer responsibility duties. Permanent regulations took effect May 1, 2026. Identify producer roles, covered materials and exclusions using current CalRecycle guidance.
Non-compliance risk
Waste service coordination does not replace producer obligations. Confirm registration, reporting, program requirements and exemptions with the relevant organization and qualified advisers.
Businesses generating four or more cubic yards of commercial solid waste must arrange recycling service. High-volume print and converting plants clear that threshold easily.
Non-compliance risk
Jurisdictions can issue notices and enforcement for failure to maintain recycling service. Documented diversion of fiber and film demonstrates compliance.
California organics collection rules depend on local programs and approved waivers. AB 1826’s threshold is two cubic yards of total solid waste weekly; SB 1383 adds collection and, for designated generators, edible-food recovery duties.
Non-compliance risk
Confirm applicable service, documentation and retention duties with the jurisdiction. Enforcement and penalties depend on the responsible party and regulation; jurisdiction-level fines are not universal business fines.
Services that apply to your operation.
Recyclable Material Purchasing
We buy your OCC, mixed paper, white sheet, film, and rigid plastics directly through program and spot purchasing. Most aggressive pricing based on grade, with FOB pickup and baler coordination so clean material becomes revenue instead of a tipping fee.
Managed Services
We coordinate baling, storage, load scheduling, and vendor logistics across single or multi-site converting operations. One managed program replaces a patchwork of haulers and opportunistic buyers.
Compliance Reporting
We produce audit-ready diversion documentation aligned with AB 341, SB 1383, and SB 54 producer-responsibility tracking, with the recordkeeping regulators expect from high-volume generators.
