Maximising recycling is our top priority. Why? Because it keeps fibres in use.
Did you know that corrugated cardboard sets the benchmark for high-performing recycling systems?
Every day across Europe, it's collected, sorted & recycled efficiently. π

A tyre works hard. So should its packaging!
This corrugated design delivers:
β‘οΈ Strength & stackability
β‘οΈ Product protection from factory to shelf
β‘οΈ A clever added function: you can see the tread
β
And all without fossil-based packaging

It's International Zero Waste Day! β»οΈ
Corrugated cardboard helps reduce waste by protecting food across the supply chain.
From transport to the supermarket to the consumerβs home, its high levels of hygiene keep products safe, fresh and intact.

Proper source-sorting & efficient collection matter.
They help make the corrugated cardboard stream one of the cleanest, supporting high recycling performance.
Cardboard is:
β
Collected for real
β
Sorted for real
β
Recycled for real
#CircularByNature
π A strong #CircularEconomy requires materials that keep delivering.
Corrugated cardboard fibres can be recycled:
β© At least 25 times, with little or no loss in quality
This keeps valuable materials in use.

β»οΈπ Recycling at scale is not a future ambition for the corrugated cardboard sector. It's what we do, every day.
For decades, this has been our day-to-day reality, supported by collection, sorting, and active end users.

Corrugated cardboard unites 2 essentials of circular packaging:
1β£ It's made from renewable, bio-based materials
2β£ It's recycled in reality at scale
Most important of all? This is not ambition. It's proven performance, backed by data.

When it comes to corrugated cardboard, it's all about scale.
β
It's collected, sorted & recycled at scale in Europe
The result? Fibres are kept in use, again at scale
Maximising recycling? It's a highly effective way to drive the #CircularEconomy.
