Closing the loop for #fibrebased packaging! At 4evergreen, we aim to boost circularity by closing the fibre-based packaging loop and optimising the value of recycled fibre ♻️ How? Our Workstream 3 identifies best practices and develops guidelines for the collection and sorting of all fibre-based packaging, including the types for household, out-of-home and on-the-go consumption, to raise its recycling rate. You can check our Guidance on Improved #CollectionAndSorting here: https://lnkd.in/e65MeKtG

Meet the speakers – Peter Görlitz, Sustainability Manager at Sonoco since December 2019. ♻️ Mr. Görlitz believes that #sustainability in packaging will not be achieved by the performance of an individual stakeholder, but rather as a joint effort by all stakeholders to the benefit of all. He stresses how, to truly bring about improvement in packaging sustainability, each substrate will have its role to play and improvements to make. At 4evergreen, him and other members are working on the implementation of these points for the fibre-based #packaging industry. Hear him speak at our “Unnlocking the toolbox to perfect fibre-based packaging circularity” web event on September 10 from 14.00 to 15.30. Registration is open here: https://lnkd.in/ezBCy_uk
