Welcome to the info portal of the European Corrugated Industry. We post about packaging innovations, corrugated usage, industry news and circular economy.
🍎Why is corrugated cardboard suitable for protecting food?
During manufacturing, it reaches 100°C 3 times, which helps eliminate microbes and bacteria.
This supports hygiene in the supply chain & helps reduce food waste during transport & storage.

♻️ Corrugated cardboard is easy to sort and recycle. It's also mainly made from secondary raw material, the fibres that are collected through recycling processes.
This helps keep valuable resources in use and supports a strong circular economy.

The water used in paper production is treated & returned clean to the environment.
And that's not all. Since corrugated cardboard is mainly made from recycled material, our sector requires less fresh fibre, helping reduce the use of resources.
