👉 The European plastics industry is facing a profound competitiveness crisis. European Plastics Converters | EuPC, alongside 27 other leading organisations across the European plastics value chain, has jointly addressed EU policymakers to underline the urgency of this situation. Without immediate and strategic intervention, the ongoing lack of structural competitiveness of industries risks further reducing plastics production and eventually converting in Europe, weakening demand, and leading to an increased number of plant closures. While the sector is committed to transforming into increasingly circular business models, the current closing down of recycling capacity compromises this green transition. In general, the pressure on raw materials makes the plastics industry more and more reliant on imports, questioning its long-term resilience. 📣 We therefore call upon EU institutions to urgently adopt measures that address the economic pressures undermining industrial competitiveness. Safeguarding Europe’s plastics value chain is not only essential for the sector’s survival, but also for securing jobs, innovation, and the EU’s long-term strategic autonomy. #EUIndustry #Competitiveness #PlasticsValueChain

📢 European Parliament adopts new EU rules to reduce #Textile and #FoodWaste Yesterday, the European Parliament gave its final green light to new measures to prevent and reduce waste from food and textiles across the EU. Notably, the updated legislation will introduce binding food waste reduction targets and require that producers that make textiles available in the EU will have to cover costs of collecting, sorting and recycling waste textiles. 🥕👕➡️ https://bit.ly/4nu1KzU

“EUDR-Compliant” Recycled Paper from Koehler Paper – Sustainable and Exempt from Due Diligence Requirements ♻️ 👍 The new EU Regulation on Deforestation-Free Products (EUDR) comes with enormous challenges for companies, including many in the paper industry. This is also the case with the preceding EUTR, which has been in effect since 2013 but does not apply to recycled paper either. This overwhelming advantage is complemented by the fact that Koehler Paper keeps raising the bar when it comes to premium recycled paper. 👉No surprise then that using recycled paper comes with a series of important advantages for businesses: legal certainty, less red tape, material efficiency as a result of recycling, and no EUDR due diligence requirements. Well aware that prospective and existing customers wanted to learn more about the new EU Regulation on Deforestation-Free Products, Koehler extended an invitation to its “Recycled Paper – EUDR Ready” event at the “Alte Druckerei” in the German city of Hamburg. Agencies, print shops, branded companies, and other interested parties congregated at the venue, where they would learn more about the regulation in connection with the products and services offered by the Koehler Group. #koehler #koehlerpaper #paperforthefuture #sustainability #future #change

Mono-Material Packaging with EVAL™ EVOH: Designed for Recyclability The PPWR is changing the rules: by 2030, all packaging in the EU must be recyclable. For packaging engineers, this means designing structures that combine mechanical recyclability with high barrier performance.   Our new whitepaper shows how EVAL™ EVOH enables mono-material packaging that meets these requirements—ideal for food applications where oxygen and aroma protection are critical.   Download the whitepaper now: https://lnkd.in/evfUUyqs #Kuraray #KurarayatKShow #K2025

At the 2025 FEFCO Technical Seminar, Laura Mazzei, EU Public Affairs Director, underlined how FEFCO and the European corrugated sector are implementing key EU legislation like the #PPWR and #EUDR. While simplification would reduce pressure on industry, our commitment is steadfast: ✅Supporting the EU’s ambition to lead on circularity by turning recycled resources into value and building a sustainable, resilient society. 🌍 #CircularByNature #FEFCOTS2025
