Board & Packaging

The fiber-based packaging sector is benefitting from the move away from plastics and the rapid growth of e-commerce. The overall picture of the future packaging market and various substitution trends is complex and under rapid development.

The EU is driving the changes in legislation - in the future, packaging recycling targets and plastic reduction measures will be more ambitious. By 2025, 65% of all packaging is to be recycled, and the target for 2030 is even higher, at 70%. By then, all used plastic is to become recoverable.
