17 Jan 2024 --- Mondi hosted an expert roundtable to discuss how the circularity of used paper bags in the construction industry can be improved. The project aims at finding solutions for how to scale up the collection, sorting and recycling of used paper bags and reduce waste. The event, held on November 16 in Madrid, Spain, looked at how to build systems that will prevent the disposal of used paper bags, working toward implementing a process of efficient collection, sorting and recycling that can be managed on an industrial scale. Carlos Martinez Ezquerra, circular economy manager for Flexible Packaging at Mondi, says: “Improving the circularity of used paper bags in this industry is vital, and our successful Spanish pilot project shows that it can become a reality — but Mondi cannot do it alone. We need committed partners at every stage of the value chain to collaborate closely and create a successful model that can close the loop.”
