12 Oct 2022 --- The Confederation of European Paper Industries (Cepi) is updating its harmonized recyclability test method, developed with partners from the entire paper value chain, including specialized testing laboratories. The method is particularly relevant to the paper packaging industry. Cepi highlights that many paper packaging solutions already enjoy high recycling rates, but are also increasingly fulfilling new functionalities. These need to be considered by brand owners aiming to reach ever higher performance in terms of circularity and sustainability for their products. “Cepi has initiated the work on a harmonized European recyclability test method by bringing together the paper institutes and technical associations from the biggest four European markets and converge existing methods into one method,” Ulrich Leberle, raw materials director at Cepi tells PackagingInsights.
