With its closed material cycle based on renewable raw materials, corrugated board meets these requirements perfectly (see ecology). The initiator of the Packaging Ordinance and the Recycling Management Act, Prof. Klaus Töpfer, put it in a nutshell as early as 2009: “Corrugated cardboard offers advantages in recycling and is a product made from renewable raw materials. The corrugated cardboard industry is not interested in short-term success, but is credible in the long term. This is also increasingly being recognized by consumers. When it comes to sustainability, sales, logistics and packaging also play an important role. " Prof. Matthias Franz from the Packaging Technology course at the Stuttgart Media University highlighted the importance of sustainable packaging for consumers and retailers: "It is difficult to quantify or monetize nature on a large or small scale," says the scientist. One thing is clear, however: "The packaging material offers sustainability on the basis of renewable raw materials and combines important protection, logistics and communication functions." HANS KOLB Wellpappe is aware of its responsibility to sustainability. This becomes clear through a closed raw material cycle with our own paper production at HANS KOLB Papier in Kaufbeuren. Accruing punching waste is, for example, sorted into the secondary fiber paper production.
