Peute Recycling B.V.
Peute Recycling B.V. (Based in the Netherlands), 100% part of SCGP (SCG Packaging) – Thailand, is expanding its recovered paper sourcing operation in the UK.
Peute processes and markets approximately 1.5 million tonnes of recovered Paper, Board and Plastics annually. Within the SCGP group, our paper mills in Southeast Asia currently have a combined capacity of approximately 4.4 million tonnes per year, with capacity expected to grow to more than 5 million tonnes in the coming years. Besides supplying our own mills, we actively trade and supply recovered paper to customers throughout Europe and Asia.
We are looking for an entrepreneurial UK Paper Trader / Senior Trader
We are looking for an experienced recovered-paper professional who knows the UK market, understands the grades, knows where the material is, and—most importantly—knows how to trade it profitably.
You will be responsible for:
- Building and managing our UK sourcing operation
- Developing and maintaining strong relationships with suppliers
- Proactively approaching suppliers and being close to the market on a daily basis
- Monitoring market developments, volumes and pricing
- Using your knowledge of UK recovered-paper grades and specifications
- Negotiating and independently closing purchase and sales orders
- Expanding our existing supplier network and developing new relationships
- Trading with a clear focus on margin and profitability
- Identifying opportunities and taking ownership of your results

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
