Establishing an industry recyclability standard to inform environmental labelling

Time: 09h45 – 10h15

The Fibre Circle is currently collaborating with the industry to develop a South African standard for the repulpability and recyclability of paper packaging. Among other outcomes, this initiative seeks to establish an industry standard for environmental labelling (currently South Africa does not have a standard). This could provide an excellent platform for Fibre Circle to present and engage with more industry players on this initiative.
