Corrugated cutting carbon

摘要

The corrugated packaging industry reports that it has reduced its carbon footprint by 12%.According to the European industry association FEFCO's database, which was compiled by an independent consultant, in 2008 the CO2 equivalent of corrugated packaging (its carbon footprint) was 887kg/tonne of board leaving the factory gate. In 2010, the CO2 equivalent had dropped to 784kg/tonne, a 12% decrease. The savings were largely as a result of less energy usage in the paper mills.
