FEFCO @circularbynature.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
In the #CircularEconomy, a single box should never be the end of the story for its fibres. Did you know: On average, 88% of the fibres used in corrugated cardboard come from recycled sources. ▶️ In some cases, the figure can reach 100% #CircularByNature www.fefco.org/circular-by-...
