PPWR: “Our industry is ready to contribute”
The EU Parliament recently gave its consent to the trilogue agreement on the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulations (PPWR). The Swedish Forest Industries Federation (SFIF) supports the legislation which aims to reduce the environmental impact of packaging in the context of its ambition to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
“This extensive legislation will be a catalyst for the whole packaging value chain, and our industry is ready to contribute to achieve its objectives. We therefore support an adoption of the PPWR's agreement without delay”, says Viveka Beckeman, Director General of SFIF.
The final step in the legislative process is consent from EU Council, which is expected in autumn and shortly thereafter, the final text is expected to be published in the OJEU.
“The development of delegated acts will play a crucial role in the implementation if the PPWR, and it will be necessary to gather adequate representation from industry and national authorities to make the most of all relevant knowledge”, says Kai-Yee Thim, Director of Product Policy at Swedish Forest Industries.

The EU has agreed on a framework for the certification of carbon removals, following negotiations between the Commission, Parliament and the Council of Ministers.

Wood harvesting is part of the climate solution14.6.2021 10:43:32 CEST | Press release
A recent study commissioned by the Swedish Forest Industries on the environmental effect of wood harvesting in Sweden shows that the climate will not be better off if wood harvesting was restricted, and carbon stored in the forest. The assumption, which is often applied in EU policy discussions, instead leads to higher fossil emissions and more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The forest bioeconomy is built on carbon circularity and wood harvesting. It provides for stable carbon storage in the forest as well as considerable displacement of fossil-based products. The conclusions are relevant for several on-going European Green Deal policy discussions, such as the revisions of the EU Forest Strategy, the LULUCF Regulation and the Renewable Energy Directive.
