You see the "recycled" label on your box. What you don't see is the system that makes this real. Corrugated fibres can be recycled over 25 times without significant loss in quality. But recyclability alone doesn’t guarantee circularity. Collection, sorting, recycling infrastructure and demand for recovered fibres all play a role in keeping materials in the loop at scale. For policymakers, the question is not just whether packaging is recyclable, but whether the system can make circularity work in practice. With a 90% recycling rate in the EU, the corrugated cardboard industry shows what established circular systems can deliver. #CircularByNature https://lnkd.in/eZXu2WF

Effective #EPR rules need to achieve two things: 👉 Make responsibilities traceable and enforceable 👉 Keep cross-border compliance proportionate, predictable and workable That balance is at the heart of today’s European Parliament discussions on a proposed suspension of the #PPWR’s EPR authorised-representative requirement for cross-border trade. The corrugated cardboard packaging value chain supplies businesses whose products travel across Europe. When those businesses sell packaged products in Member States where they are not established, they may need to appoint an authorised representative to meet their EPR obligations. Combined with different national registration and reporting processes, this can add complexity across the value chain. The challenge is to simplify unnecessary burdens without undermining producer accountability or the effective financing of packaging-waste management. Effective implementation means making EPR work in practice for businesses, policymakers and the environment. #EPR #SMEs #SingleMarket #CircularByNature

It takes a lot of care to put food on the table. From the hands that grow it to the hands that cook it, the journey must be smooth. When food is damaged or lost along the way, all those efforts risk going to waste. That's why choosing effective food packaging is key: it protects the resources and care that went into producing it. Corrugated packaging helps reduce damage in transit, supports ventilation where needed and adapts to different products and supply-chain needs. This #WorldFoodDay, let’s remember what’s at stake when we protect food on its journey. Discover how corrugated packaging can make a difference👇. https://lnkd.in/gciX3TN

Cyber attacks can halt production, disrupt supply chains and delay deliveries across the corrugated industry. During European Cybersecurity Month and beyond, FEFCO is helping members strengthen their resilience. 🛡️ Here's how: ▶️ Our practical Cybersecurity Handbook ▶️ Our Cybersecurity Threat Intelligence Service, now in its pilot phase ▶️ And in 2027, Cyber Day will give members an opportunity to connect, exchange and build collective cyber resilience Together, we can bolster our cyber defenses. #CyberSecMonth #ThinkB4UClick #CircularByNature https://lnkd.in/dyT5U3qz

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 https://lnkd.in/gciX3TN

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! 👇 https://lnkd.in/eZXu2WF #CircularByNature
