UPM Raflatac Helps Enhance Packaging Recyclability with New Labels Guide E-Book

UPM Raflatac is pleased to announce the launch of its new Packaging Recyclability Guide, designed to help fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) stakeholders across the packaging value chain navigate the complexities of packaging design and recyclability. The new guide, which is available as a free e-book on the company’s website here or as a downloadable pdf here, offers practical information on the guidelines, definitions and criteria to help make informed label choices that will enhance recyclability.

With the emergence of the EU’s new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and the focus on packaging circularity at this present time, mastering the intricacies of packaging sustainability and fortifying packaging solutions for the future has never been more essential. Although many companies have already made voluntary commitments to targets, such as using 100% recyclable, reusable, or compostable packaging, deciding the best way to achieve these goals can be challenging.

Exploring the Role of Paper, Paper-based Packaging, and Paper Products in a Circular Economy

In the journey towards sustainable development, the concept of a circular economy has gained significant traction. At the heart of this concept is the idea of reducing waste and continually reusing resources. In the paper industry, circularity is transforming how paper, paper-based packaging , and related products are produced, used, and recycled. Let’s look at the circularity of paper products, focusing on packaging, marketing, and consumer goods, highlighting the industry’s strides and challenges.

Metsä Board is progressing with its fossil free target at its Kyro mill

The Hämeenkyrön Voima power plant, from which Metsä Board's Kyro mill buys energy, has replaced the peat it burns with renewable energy. In the future, the power plant aims to use wood-based fuels from Metsä Group's production and wood procurement by-products. By not burning peat, Metsä Board Kyro's share of fossil fuels in total fuel demand will be reduced from just over a quarter to about a tenth. The phase-out of peat has required significant investments in power plant technology to control boiler corrosion damage and optimise running conditions. Previously approximately one fifth of the fuel used by the plant has been peat. Thanks to the investments, the energy and local district heat from the mill will be produced in a more environmentally friendly way. Metsä Board, part of Metsä Group, targets to achieve fossil-free production and products by the end of 2030. Moving away from peat-based energy will help Metsä Board towards these goals.
