Its main purpose is to pro- mote the use of cartons and cartonboard to brand owners, the trade as well as designers, the media and politicians as an economically and ecologically balanced packaging medium. Its research, industry reports and other informa- tive content can be found on it comprehensive website at procarton.com. the right thing, even during the busiest times of the year. However, it is up to brands and retailers to help them to do that, not by only using sustainable packaging options, but also by clearly labelling them. Shoppers are keen to separate and recycle their waste but without the right in- formation are more likely to just throw perfectly recyclable items straight into their general waste streams. He continues, “Once cartons, which could be recycled, end up in general waste streams, their valuable fibers are lost for good. Securing each carton back into carton re- cycling streams is critical for reuse – as the fibres found in cartons can be recycled up to 25 times with little to no loss of integrity. Furthermore, separate collection is key to reach the industry’s ambition of a 90 percent recycling rate for fibre-based packaging in Europe. We are clearly going in the right direction, but there is still so much to do to achieve a truly circular economy and I call on manufac- turers, brands and retailers to continue to pull out all the stops and step up to make the changes needed…this year and into the future.”
