Billerud’s European production of packaging materials is the first to be third-party assessed as 100% recyclable, according to EU legislation proposed for 2030. This reinforces Billerud as a world leader in sustainable packaging.
The standards proposed by the coming Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) are high, but Billerud has been meeting high standards for many years. This is why we reached the goal seven years in advance and are the first in the world to do so. Whatever type of 100% recyclable paper or packaging material you need, contact our team to achieve your sustainability goals. Together, we will customize a solution with tomorrow in mind!

Under the leadership of former School of Packaging director, and current CANR Interim Dean Matthew Daum, the school completed a comprehensive renovation supported by donations totaling over $10 million in April of 2023. Formal planning is currently underway for a second major expansion – a $25 million investment that will double the size of the building and significantly increase research capacity, creating space for more faculty and graduate students. “The School of Packaging has established itself as a model of success, and our outstanding faculty’s work supports the global packaging industry and improves lives,” Daum says. “We’re successful here because we attract top-tier faculty, whose curiosity and dedication fuel long-term solutions in areas like sustainability, profitability and environmental impact.”
