The sixth edition of the European Paper Recycling Awards will take place Oct. 18, 2017, in the European Parliament, hosted by Europarliamentarian Simona Bonafè, rapporteur of the Circular Economy package and champion of the importance of recycling. 

The awards provide an occasion to shed the spotlight on innovative projects changing the way people think and do paper recycling, and help Europe achieve its goal of a 74% paper recycling rate by 2020. 

Any paper recycling related project or campaign can now be submitted online for a chance to headline this year’s award. 

There are two categories for submission and a separate award will be granted for each category: 

• Information and  education
• Innovative technologies and R&D. 

The awards are open to all entities based in Europe including schools, universities, NGOs, national and regional authorities, companies, and associations. 

Application deadline is Monday, July 3, 2017.

 

Further details can be consulted on the FAQ page.

The European Paper Recycling Awards are run by the European Paper Recycling Council (EPRC), which encompasses the entire paper recycling value chain across Europe. Learn more about the EPRC and its activities and how it plans to get Europe’s recycling rates to 74% by 2020.
