EU project to promote separate paper collection launched

15 February 2016

IMPACTPapeRec is a European project to further increase the separate collection of paper for recycling and promote appropriate schemes to avoid landfilling and incineration. A best practice handbook will be developed to support the different EU regions in the implementation of best collection procedures. IMPACTPapeRec started on 1 February 2016 for a period of two years.
The project focuses on countries with below average paper recycling rates such as Bulgaria, Poland and Romania as well as countries where paper from households, small shops and offices is often collected in a commingled stream with other recyclables like in France and the UK (Press Release CEPI, 9 February 2016).
