This work responds to the EU Green Deal goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 80-95 percent by 2050. The European corrugated cardboard industry has always been committed to sustainable growth. This new ambition reflects its continuous efforts to preserve the environment and reduce GHG emissions. Building on past achievements and thorough analytical work, the roadmap describes how the corrugated card- board sector is committed to achieving climate neutrality. It lays out key milestones, the most plausible scenarios, the required investments, and the necessary policy mea- sures to reach this goal. The key findings show that the corrugated cardboard industry can reduce its carbon footprint emissions through actions directly within its control by 2050 compared to business as usual (BAU): • Improvements in material efficiency and circularity that would reduce the footprint by 3,3 Mt CO2eq. (or 19 per- cent) by 2050 compared to BAU • Further improvements in energy efficiency and decar- bonisation of the energy mix would reduce the foot- print by an additional 2,8 Mt CO2eq. (or 16 percent) by 2050 compared to BAU. Looking beyond direct action, collective engagement of the wider value chain will enable corrugated cardboard to become carbon neutral and even carbon negative. Notably, the bulk of the reductions must be achieved up- stream, and, in particular, by reducing the climate footprint of paper production. Reduction of the paper sector (fossil) carbon footprint by 80 percent by 2050 (in line with the current paper industry roadmap) will allow the corrugated cardboard sector to achieve climate neutrality. Furthermore, if the paper sector fully phases out its fossil emissions, the corrugated cardboard sector would become a climate negative packaging material. The ambitions of the corrugated cardboard sector’s Climate Neutrality Roadmap can only be achieved if the following enabling conditions are met: • A predictable and stable regulatory framework to steer investments • The availability and affordability of climate-friendly en- ergy carriers • An adequate and robust energy infrastructure • Policies and measures to enable the decarbonization of the paper sector • Recycling policies to improve quality of waste streams Alex Manisty, Chairman of the FEFCO Climate Neutral- ity Roadmap Steering Committee, highlighted that “The roadmap reflects a credible plan that can be implement- ed in the required timeframe, and shows the strong will of the industry to build a climate neutral future for corrugated cardboard. Already the most recycled packaging materi- al, with 88 percent recycled content, climate neutral cor- rugated cardboard will enable sustainable global supply chains for the long-term.”
