The myth: recycled fibre and food packaging don’t go together – we’re proving the opposite? This was one of the key topics discussed at the Smithers Moulded Fibre Conference in Amsterdam. At WEPA, we believe that increasing the use of recycled fibres in various applications, beyond the tissue industry, is an important driver for the circular economy. With the right processes and quality controls in place, recycled fibre can play a significant role for example in food packaging applications. Europe has a great opportunity to make better use of valuable paper for recycling and strengthen circular material flows within the region to strengthen European sovereignty. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the inspiring discussions and valuable exchange of ideas in Amsterdam. Curious about the role of recycled fibres in future packaging solutions? Engage with our experts Johannes Klumpp, Victoria Scherzinger, Antoine Laviolette, Martin Rohde and join the discussion. #WEPA #CircularEconomy #Recycling #FoodPackaging #Sustainability #MouldedFibre
