Torraspapel is part of the 4evergreen alliance, reinforcing its commitment to helping shape a more circular future for fibre-based packaging in Europe.

Led by Cepi (Confederation of European Paper Industries), 4evergreen brings together more than 110 organisations from across the fibre-based packaging value chain, including pulp and paper producers, brands, recyclers and material suppliers. The alliance shares a common ambition: achieving a 90% recycling rate for fibre-based packaging in Europe by 2030.

As a manufacturer of specialty papers for packaging, labelling, food service and other demanding applications, Torraspapel brings its technical expertise and market experience to this cross-industry initiative. Through the alliance, we are fully aligned with its objectives and contribute to the development of practical tools such as the Recyclability Evaluation Protocol and the Circularity by Design Guidelines, helping translate regulatory developments like the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) into applicable criteria for the industry.

"For us, being part of 4evergreen is above all about technical collaboration. The forum connects specialists across the value chain, giving us the opportunity to share practical insights and address common challenges. This shared technical perspective helps us anticipate how market needs and regulatory frameworks are evolving, ensuring that our innovation remains aligned and relevant". says Julia Fernández Santos, Torraspapel's R&D Manager.

Through its participation in 4evergreen’s working groups and technical forums, Torraspapel contributes to discussions on common industry challenges while gaining valuable insights from other players across the value chain. Bringing together different areas of expertise creates a stronger basis for developing practical approaches and identifying new opportunities for paper-based packaging.

For Torraspapel, this is the value of being part of 4evergreen: turning shared expertise into concrete progress for fibre-based packaging.
