/PRNewswire/ -- Today 4evergreen, Europe's value chain alliance of over 110 members building a toolbox to propel fibre-based packaging towards a 90% recycling...
The 4evergreen alliance unveils the latest version of its Guidance on the Improved Collection and Sorting of Fibre-Based Packaging, updating the 2022 version with further industry insights on collection routes in Europe. The tool, which recommends a two-stream collection system, has also been adapted to be more user-friendly and aligned with the rest of 4evergreen’s circularity toolbox.
More than 150 people joined in Brussels and online to celebrate the 3-year anniversary of 4evergreen at a conference recognising the alliance’s achievements so far and exploring how to maximise industry uptake of 4evergreen’s circularity toolbox. “After three years of intense work, we have a set of resources that is open to everyone”, said Hans Wortman, 4evergreen Chair. “It is now the turn of companies, partners, and public authorities to use them and continue paving the way to Europe’s green future”.
The 4evergreen Alliance today unveils five selected projects from its first "Circularity Success Stories" initiative, which showcases members' remarkable efforts to increase the recycling rate of fibre-based packaging to 90% by 2030.
The 4evergreen alliance releases version 2 of its Circularity by Design Guideline, with new guidance on how to design beverage packaging that is recyclable from the start. Following months of expert-led research and discussions, the new recommendations cover fibre-based composite packaging types and inform designers on their compatibility with specialised recycling processes.
