The European Union’s SUP Directive May Pose Unintended Challenges for Non-Plastic Packaging. Fibre-based packaging manufacturers are unclear about how the European Union’s Single Use Plastic (SUP) Directive, adopted in 2019, will impact their business. As it applies to specific measures for minimizing litter from single-use plastic and “plastic”-containing packaging, the Directive has taken effect through national legislation. Still unclear is how the directive applies to fibre-based packaging that uses small amounts of plastic as a protective layer for perishable items. For example, cartonboard cups incorporate an internal layer to keep liquid products from seeping through the cartonboard; and fibre-based food containers often include a plastic barrier to protect the food from oxygen and to keep food oils from leaking through the packaging.
“We understand that forest certification is a tool to demonstrate sustainable forest management. We also understand that certification delivers products originating in sustainable forests to the marketplace.” Forest certification gets people together to talk, challenge each other, explore and find solutions for problems at all levels - locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. It can also help to pull people out of poverty by giving new income generation opportunities. It contributes to all the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by bringing together hundreds of thousands of people to engage in constructive, consensus-building dialogue for local, national and international problems at landscape level. Certification builds trust and confidence between different interests through consensus and conflict resolution processes, which are the basis for ensuring and maintaining peace at all levels.

Metsä Group delivers seedlings to forest-owners for planting, and during the past couple of years this has amounted annually to 30 million seedlings, which is an impressive number,” says Mika Joukio, Metsä Board’s CEO. click Read More below for more of the story
