    Fibre Packaging Europe is pleased that you are able to join our flagship hybrid event, Paper Packaging Day, where we will be discussing renewable packaging for a fossil-free Europe.

    Renewable packaging for a fossil-free Europe: Paper Packaging Day

    This event will provide an excellent opportunity to engage and build relationships with EU policymakers to directly influence sustainable policy, as well as to shed some light on the paper, packaging, board, and pulp industries, including by raising awareness of the industry’s perspective on ongoing EU policy and legislation.

    The event will be opened by a keynote speech from Gwenole Cozigou, Director for Construction & Machinery, DG GROW.H, European Commission, which will be followed by a panel discussion with the voices that matter.
