IMPACTPapeRec commended at the European Paper Recycling Awards 2017

Our project was commended in the “Information and Education” category of the sixth edition of the European Paper Recycling Awards, organised by the European Paper Recycling Council (EPRC) at the European Parliament on 18 October.

Every two years the EPRC rewards the best, brightest and most innovative paper recycling projects from across the continent with the prestigious European Paper Recycling Award. This year’s award ceremony was jointly hosted by MEP Ms. Simona Bonafè (Italy), rapporteur of the Circular Economy dossier and Ms. Inés Ayala Sender (Spain).

Favini, a leading global producer of packaging for the luxury and fashion industries, topped the Innovative Technologies and R&D category for its Remake project, a ground-breaking process of using recycled leather to produce paper. Aspapel, the Spanish pulp & paper association headed up the Information and Education category with its creative ‘Blue Birdies’ project targeted towards raising awareness on the separate collection of paper across municipalities in Spain.

We’re very happy to see our project earn recognition among such an impressive list of companies promoting paper recycling.

Here is the press release  and photos from the event. Well done IMPACTPapeRec!
