What does it mean for corrugated cardboard to be recycled for real? To find out, our sector welcomed circular economist Harald Friedl behind the scenes to see how our circular performance works in practice. From recycling to packaging production, Harald saw first-hand how corrugated fibres stay in use and met the people behind the process. We were pleased to open our doors to show how cardboard supports the circular economy with a recycling rate that exceeds 90%. Harald went on a journey. What did he discover?

On International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, let’s remember a simple fact: ✅ Preventing food waste starts with protecting food Corrugated packaging keeps food protected throughout its journey from producer to consumer. ⏩ Strong and protective: helps prevent damage during transport and handling ⏩ Hygienic: manufacturing processes help ensure clean packaging Better protection means less food lost to damage. #CircularByNature #FLWday fefco.org/circular-by-nature…

Before a product reaches you, it may travel hundreds of kilometres by truck. 🚚 Every bit of space matters. The more efficiently products can be packed and loaded, the more goods can move in each journey. Corrugated cardboard can help optimise how products are packed and transported: ✅ Up to 30% more packaged goods per pallet ✅ Packaging designed to fit different products and formats ✅ Strength and load stability for transport Better use of space means more products moved per journey, and fewer journeys needed. See how packaging design can make transport more efficient. #CircularByNature fefco.org/benefits-corrugate…

#Circularity begins before a box lands in the recycling bin. ⏩ It starts with design Corrugated cardboard is designed for efficient collection, sorting and recycling systems: ✅ Simple material structure ✅ Easy to collect and sort Learn how good design keeps fibres in use 👇 fefco.org/circular-by-nature… #CircularByNature

In the #CircularEconomy, a single box should never be the end of the story for its fibres. Did you know: On average, 88% of the fibres used in corrugated cardboard come from recycled sources. ▶️ In some cases, the figure can reach 100% For cardboard, circularity already works at scale. 🔄 #CircularByNature fefco.org/circular-by-nature

An industry can only call itself sustainable when it protects its people, uses resources wisely and works to improve. Corrugated cardboard contributes through: ✅ Circular design, safe workplaces and keeping fibres in circulation Our Sustainability Charter turns these priorities into actionable support for our members.

Recycling works best when packaging is designed for the systems that collect, sort and recycle it. Corrugated cardboard is already well positioned for the new #PPWR recyclability rules: ⏩ Across Europe, our sector benefits from well-established recycling systems that keep fibres in circulation. Explore the facts 👇 fefco.org/fefco-factsheet-re… #CircularByNature

What makes Europe strong? What it produces, the jobs it creates and the resources it keeps in the loop. Corrugated cardboard plays its part: - Keeps fibres in circulation - Firmly roots production and recycling in Europe - Supports local supply chains and jobs Ahead of the SOTEU, explore the strengths our sector brings to a more competitive, circular continent! 👇 fefco.org/circular-by-nature

What will make corrugated production smarter, safer and more efficient? That's the key question at the 2027 FEFCO Technical Seminar, a European forum on the technologies and solutions shaping our sector. 📅 Save the date: 27–29 October More details 👉 fefco.org/events #CircularByNature

Keeping resources in use creates a circular economy. 🔄 Corrugated cardboard puts that principle into practice. Each year, our sector transforms 26.81 million tonnes of recycled paper into new boxes. ▶️ That's the equivalent of 2,654 Eiffel Towers Learn how recycling can work at scale 👇 fefco.org/circular-by-nature #RecycledForReal

Paper-based packaging is an essential part of Europe's industrial ecosystem and new evidence shows just how significant its contribution really is. As a member of Fibre Packaging Europe, FEFCO is proud to support the launch of a new independent study by Smithers, which highlights the economic and social contribution of the paper-based packaging sector across Europe. From supporting 710,000 jobs to strengthening manufacturing, value chains and Europe's competitiveness, the findings underline the sector's vital role in Europe's economy, generating more than €110.4 billion in annual revenue. 📖 Explore the full study and insights here: fibre-packaging.eu/news/ #PaperPackaging #EUIndustry #Competitiveness #CircularEconomy #PPWR

Corrugated cardboard keeps valuable fibres in circulation. 🔄🌿 Here’s how: ⏩ Well-established systems collect, sort and recycle used boxes. Who keeps it all going? The people and businesses who separate and recycle their packaging each and every day. Discover what effective circularity looks like 👇 fefco.org/circular-by-nature #CircularByNature

Your online order comes with a simple expectation: that it arrives safely. Corrugated cardboard makes it happen every day.
