CEPI publishes sustainablility report: European paper recycling rate is 71.7%

The Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI) has launched their latest sustainability report.
The report shows that the European paper recycling rate is 71.7%. The industry reduced their CO2 emissions per tonne of product by 43%.
More than 82% of the raw materials come from Europe and most of the suppliers are European companies. 23% of the products “made in Europe” are exported to the global market. As the crisis has accelerated structural changes in the industry since the last report in 2011, pulp and paper companies have started looking in a systematic way at new business models and new products (Press Release CEPI, 28 November 2013).
