Johannes Zipfel co-led the development of the new Fibre-Based Packaging Recyclability Evaluation Protocol
contributing to 4evergreen’s recycling goal
In 2024, the alliance developed new methodologies and evaluation schemes to further support their goals. Johannes Zipfel co-led the development of the new Fibre-Based Packaging Recyclability
Evaluation Protocol. It applies to packaging paper, release base paper, thinprint and leaflet papers at delfort, all of which can be tested for recyclability using our in-house recycling testing station,
ensuring our customers receive internally validated, recyclable paper solutions.
I'm grateful for the teamwork and extensive testing efforts that ensured fact-based protocols. It's an honor to have actively contributed and to now support our partners with certified testing methods.
