Fibre-based packaging is a pioneer of the European circular economy. Nearly 85% of fibre-based packaging is recycled, the highest rate of any packaging material. This is just one of the many advantages of fibre-based packaging.

The European Paper Packaging Alliance is looking for a Director General to lead the association and to support the industry in its aims and objectives. Applications are welcome to mail@eppa-eu.org.

Today, six leading trade associations, representing industries involved in forestry, pulp, paper, board and carton production and recycling from across Europe, announced the launch of Fibre Packaging Europe, an informal coalition.

The EU’s Single Use Plastics Directive entered into law on 3rd July, but its confused application may harm the integrity of the single market and jeopardise European carbon reduction targets

Brussels, 1st June 2021 - The European Paper Packaging Alliance (EPPA) - which represents the circular forest fibre-based packaging value chain - is seriously concerned by the adoption of the Commission Guidelines on single-use plastic products required by Directive 2019/904 (“SUP Directive”), which the Alliance believes goes beyond the scope of the Directive.

EPPA has co-signed this joint industry statement to fully support the objective of the SUP Directive to reduce impact of certain plastic products on the environment, as well as the promotion of circular approaches aimed at reducing waste generation.
