💪 Paper Sacks: Lighter, stronger & more efficient than ever! 🚀 Did you know? The natural #strength and porosity of paper sacks make them a game-changer in industrial #packaging – delivering lower costs, faster processes, and greater #efficiency compared to alternatives. ✅ 25 % less material used per sack in the last 20 years ✅ 45 % stronger sack kraft paper – 100g holds up to 25kg! ✅ 3.5 sec to fill a 25 kg sack – 3x faster than non-paper alternatives ✅ 30 % more porosity = easier filling, better stacking, and optimized transport With fewer resources, lower costs, and high efficiency, paper sacks set the standard for sustainable industrial packaging.

Are you prepared for the game-changing impact of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and the ambitious targets of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (#PPWR)? 🌍 Find out what these changes mean for you and how they could shape your path to #sustainability. 🍃 In our latest webinar, Laura Mazzei from CITPA shared valuable insights. She discussed the PPWR, which sets ambitious goals such as recyclability of all #packaging by 2030 and recycling of packaging at scale by 2035. Laura emphasized that EPR schemes hold producers accountable throughout the lifecycle of their packaging, fostering responsibility and #environmental awareness.

Have you ever seen the circular economy in action? Watch the power of joining forces and discover how the construction industry embraces circularity to cut down on waste! 🌟 Carlos Martinez Ezquerra from Mondi Group presented a groundbreaking initiative: the Paper Sacks Go Circular Spain project. In just six months, this project recycled 600+ tonnes of paper sacks across 170 construction sites, demonstrating the power of collaboration to tackle construction waste. Carlos outlines how the project engages stakeholders throughout the value chain, from construction sites to waste collectors and recyclers. By developing a scalable model for circularity and collaborating with various construction #waste materials, the collection of paper sacks can be expanded in both a #sustainable and cost-effective manner. With plans to expand to the rest of the European countries, this initiative is proof that challenges can become opportunities through innovation and #collaboration.

♻️ Ever wondered how industrial paper sack recycling has proven successful in Germany? Discover the full story of REPASACK, told briefly. Sven Korsten from Interzero Repasack shared an inspiring look at Germany’s REPASACK system, which was founded under similar legal conditions as we have today with the PPWR. The system for take-back and recycling of used paper sacks uses collection points or a pick-up service to retrieve the used sacks. After a mechanical cleaning process, they are turned into high-quality raw materials for reuse. As a result, 7,050 tonnes of greenhouse gases could be saved in 2023. The REPASACK system demonstrates how innovative processes like collection, sorting, and high-quality fiber recovery can close the loop on waste. Sven highlighted the critical role of collaboration and transparency across the supply chain to replicate this success across Europe.

We're excited to share the Fibre Packaging Europe Manifesto! 📦 Fibre Packaging Europe is a coalition of seven trade associations along Europe's fibre #packaging value chain. We are committed to remain the most sustainable packaging solution in Europe. To enhance #sustainability in the sector, we present three policy recommendations, focusing on promoting European bio-based raw materials, having a solid regulatory framework, and recognising the role of fibre-based packaging in ensuring food #safety and reducing food waste. Watch our new video to learn more 👇 🎥 https://lnkd.in/erNPht3Q Or read our manifesto👉 📑 https://lnkd.in/eaHBr544

Fibre packaging drives Europe’s transition to even further circularity, moving away from fossil materials and energy. By aligning key EU initiatives, such as the #CircularEconomyAct and the #PPWR, we can build a more sustainable Europe ♻️📦🌲 👉🏻 Read our op-ed on Euractiv with Fibre Packaging Europe https://lnkd.in/eRe-3cfD
