The data for production of paper & board and conver- sion into corrugated boxes was sourced from the 2021 Eu- ropean Database for Corrugated Board Life Cycle Studies, organized by FEFCO (European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers) and CCB (Cepi ContainerBoard). The CO2 calculation methodology is based on CEPI’s (Confederation of the European Paper Industries) “Frame- work for Carbon Footprints for Paper and Board Products, April 2017” and the CITPA (International Confederation of Paper & Board Converters in Europe) “Guidelines for calculating carbon footprints for paper-based packaging, March 2018”. The CEPI and CITPA frameworks have been subject to an independent peer review by ifeu – Insti- tute for Energy and Environmental Research Heidelberg GmbH and have been found to be compatible with the requirements of the “Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard” of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol by WRI (World Resources Institute). FEFCO Announces Lower Corrugated Industry C02 Footprint FEFCO has announced that the new CO2 footprint for corrugated board is 491 kgCO2e/t, showing significant improvement compared to 531 kg CO2e/t in 2018 assess- ment. This result reflects the continuous efforts made by the European corrugated industry and its paper suppliers to reduce their impact on the environment.
