Sustainability Focus Continental Paper Grading Company specializes in scrap paper recycling and process optimization, presenting opportunities to upsell comprehensive recycling programs, waste audits, and ongoing scrap material brokerage for manufacturers in printing, envelope production, general conversion, and paper production.

Scale and Reach With monthly trading of over 100,000 short tons and multiple offices across the US and Canada plus two facilities in Chicago and York, there is potential to expand regional service coverage, cross-sell services to new facilities, and leverage existing mill relationships for larger multi-site contracts.

Tech Enablement Leverage the company’s tech stack and data capabilities (AWS, MySQL, analytics) to propose enhanced reporting, dashboards, and KPI tracking for customers, enabling transparent recycling performance metrics and timely pricing/brokerage opportunities.

Financial Opportunity With revenue in the multi-million range and an emphasis on maximizing scrap value, there is scope for value-added services such as premium brokerage, material grading accuracy improvements, and incentive-based partnerships tied to volume commitments.
