Circular packaging from wood-based fibers
Fibre-based packaging has one of the lowest carbon footprints of any packaging substrate! Thanks to the #circularity of fibre packaging, it has minimal effect on the environment 🍃 during its: ♻️ Production ➡️ it is made from recycled and renewable fibres. ♻️ End of life ➡️ cardboard can be recycled again and again.

Sustainable forest management ensures biodiversity protection
Sustainable forest management ensures biodiversity protection and increases the forests’ sequestration and regeneration capacity. Thanks to the increased CO2 absorption due to sustainable stewardship and the substitution of fossil-based products with forest-based materials, the European forest-based sector mitigates 20% of all fossil emissions in the European Union.

The forest-based sector, backbone in EU economy
🇪🇺 With 4 million people employed by the European forest-based sector, many of whom are based in rural areas, the forest sector forms the backbone of EU’s economy. From construction and eco-friendly packaging to renewable energy and pharmaceuticals, products from the forest sector enable industries behind many of the EU’s strategic development goals. 🌲 🌳 […]
50 % reduced water intake
The forest fibre-based industry continues to invest in technologies to close the processes, reuse, and clean water. Therefore, water intake 🌊 has decreased almost by half in the past 30 years! #DYK that the after cleaning, the industry returns 90% of the water to the environment.Source: Cepi
