Recyclable*

• Paper has the highest recycling rate of all packaging materials after glass, with recovered paper and board representing up to 70.4%⁵⁾ of paper industry raw material.
• industrial waxed paper waste can be used as a raw material for corrugated board; and as waxed paper has a high calorific value when incinerated, energy recovery is also a viable option⁶⁾.
