\"CepiCepi, the European association representing the paper industry, has announced a new alliance called 4evergreen<\/a>. The aim of the alliance is to boost the contribution of fibre-based packaging in a circular and sustainable economy that minimises climate and environmental impact.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The alliance will increase awareness about the benefits of fibre-based packaging materials, advocate for EU legislation supporting product design for recyclability and call for the development of optimised collection systems and appropriate recycling infrastructures.<\/p>\n

The rise of environmental awareness and consumer concerns, as well as the increase of packaging focused regulation, such as the Single Use Plastics Directive, have helped companies to accelerate the development of alternative packaging materials including fibre-based packaging with a view to helping consumers make more climate-friendly choices.<\/p>\n

4evergreen was created as a forum to engage and connect industry members from across the fibre-based packaging value chain, from paper and board producers to packaging converters, brand-owners and retailers, technology and material suppliers, waste sorters and collectors.<\/p>\n

The 4evergreen alliance is important because it was born from an initiative of consumer product industry leaders who recognize the huge potential of fibre-based packaging in a circular economy\u201d said Susanne Oste, VP Innovation and Sustainability at Sappi. \u00a0\u201cTheir customers want sustainable packaging and fibre-based products provide the most climate-friendly solution available.\u00a0Sappi is proud to play a part in this industry alliance. \u00a0We have been investing heavily for more than 10 years in cutting edge research into real solutions for the problems that confront our customers. \u00a0A recent success is the launch of the only fully recyclable confectionary \u00a0wrapper on the market today.\u201d<\/p>\n
