#Corrugated #cardboard ticks all the boxes✅ ☑️It's the most #recycled packaging ✔️It's produced using paper, which is renewable & biodegradable ☑️We source ~88% of its fibres from recycling ✔️It's 100% fit-for-purpose ☑️It's lighter and stronger than ever ✔️It's inherently European with 600 local plants And there's more! Watch our new video to learn why cardboard is the #circular solution for Europe👇. #CircularByNature #WhoElse fefco.org/circular-by-na…

Every new corrugated cardboard box starts with recycled fibres. On average, 88% of fibres used in cardboard come from recycled sources (FEFCO LCA, 2024). ➡️ In some cases, this figure can reach 100% Learn how circularity works in practice and at scale: fefco.org/circular-by-na…

Corrugated cardboard is Europe's recycling success story. With a recycling rate that exceeds 90%, cardboard is Europe’s most recycled packaging material. This reflects our sector’s advanced, well-functioning recycling systems, driven by: - Collection and sorting by municipalities - Active participation by end users Built on a long European tradition of recycling, these systems keep fibres in use.

Happy Global Recycling Day! Corrugated cardboard shows what true recycling looks like. Across EU markets, it is collected, sorted and recycled at scale. This is not just ambition. It's real performance, backed by data. According to new, peer-reviewed FEFCO research: ➡️ Corrugated has a recycling rate above 90% Explore the facts 👉fefco.org/circular-by-na…

That’s a wrap on FEFCO’s first Cyber Security Day! 👏 Thank you to all our members and speakers for a day of valuable discussion. 🙏 Cybersecurity matters more than ever for our sector. 📦 This event showed the value of sharing knowledge and practical experience across the industry. If you attended, make sure to share your favourite moment! 📸 #CircularByNature

Today, Fibre Packaging Europe has issued an Industry Statement - One Market: A Call to Embed Competitiveness as a Core Policymaking Principle Supporting 710,000 jobs and generating over EUR 110 billion annually in Europe, we call on policymakers to work with industry to embed competitiveness and hashtag#SingleMarket considerations across all EU policies and supportive initiatives. As the EU progresses towards the full application of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (#PPWR), we call for clear guidance and measures that: ✅Eliminate barriers and drive harmonisation ✅Prevent regulatory overlaps ✅Support innovative, bio-based solutions ✅Strengthen recycling through separate collection Our newly elected president, Michele Bianchi, shares his perspective on what is needed to ensure a #competitive and #sustainable #packaging market in the EU. 📃 Read the full statement here: fibre-packaging.eu/wp-content/upl… 👉  Learn more about Fibre Packaging Europe: fibre-packaging.eu

Today, Marc Van Damme, Chair of the Operation & Innovation Committee, welcomed the participants to FEFCO’s first Cyber Security Day! 🛡️ FEFCO members are gathering today to explore: ✅ Cyber risk ✅ Good practices for cyber resilience ✅ Practical measures tailored to the corrugated cardboard industry ✅ And much more Cybersecurity is a key operational topic for our sector. As we become more digitalised, protecting operations, data and customer trust matters more than ever. FEFCO is pleased to welcome members for an event on such an important topic. #CircularByNature

🌍 How has the corrugated industry strengthened its sustainability performance over the last 3 decades? One example: it has increased its use of renewable fuels, which helps improve energy performance across the value chain. Explore our latest published LCI data: fefco.org/lca #CircularByNature

The #PPWR puts in place: ☑️ Harmonised EU requirements for recyclability and design for recycling Our Recyclability Factsheet 👇 explains how corrugated cardboard is well‑positioned to meet the PPWR’s requirements, thanks to: ✅ Established collection, sorting, and recycling systems across Europe #CircularByNature fefco.org/technical-docu…

Tomorrow, FEFCO DG Eleni Despotou will speak at the Fastmarkets Forest Products Europe Conference. Eleni will moderate a panel on how companies can turn regulation into competitive advantage. The discussion will explore: ✅ How producers and converters are turning regulation into opportunities to build trust, improve efficiency, and strengthen competitiveness while preparing for PPWR and EUDR requirements. 📦♻️ Learn more about the event here! 👇 #CircularByNature fastmarkets.com/events/fastmar…

♻️ Since 1997, the total energy used to produce corrugated cardboard has dropped by 26%. This marks a consistent reduction over nearly 3 decades. It also reflects our sector’s steady work to improve efficiency and optimise production. 👉 Read our latest published LCI data: fefco.org/lca #CircularByNature

For many of us, corrugated cardboard is a part of daily life. But have you ever stopped to ask, what is it made of and how does it work? The key facts: ✅ Made from renewable fibres ✅ Collected and recycled daily across Europe ✅ Designed to protect goods across the supply chain Watch to learn more! 👇 #CircularByNature fefco.org/about-fefco/wh…

Just 2 weeks to go: FEFCO Cyber Security Day in Brussels. 🔐 Cyber risk is a key topic for the corrugated sector. Protecting operations, data and customer trust matters. FEFCO members: join us for this timely and strategic event! 👉 Register here: fefco.org/fefco-cyber-se… #CircularByNature

♻️🌱 Corrugated cardboard unites 2 essentials of circular packaging: 1⃣ It's made from renewable, bio-based materials 2⃣ It's recycled in reality at scale across Europe Most important of all? This is not ambition. It is proven performance, backed by data. Learn more 👉 fefco.org/circular-by-na… #CircularByNature

♻️ Smart circular packaging starts with fit-for-purpose design. This is exactly where corrugated cardboard outperforms. Cardboard can be customised to protect a huge range of product needs, all the while maintaining the high levels of protection and functionality required to keep the supply chain moving. Learn more 👉 fefco.org/circular-by-na… #CircularByNature

When it comes to corrugated cardboard, it's all about scale. ✅ Cardboard is collected, sorted and recycled at scale across Europe The result? Fibres are kept in use, again at scale Maximising recycling remains our priority. It's a highly effective way to drive the #CircularEconomy. #CircularByNature fefco.org/circular-by-na…
