Environmental News>

Belgium's paper industry will be the first to implement environmental certification.

  • 2011-02-08

The Belgian paper industry guarantees that the timber used in its paper products and cardboard boxes is legally harvested in compliance with environmental regulations. After a year and a half of negotiations, the Belgian paper industry union, Cobelpa, recently reached this agreement with relevant industry players, aiming to demonstrate in a completely transparent manner that Belgian-made paper and cardboard products never use environmentally unfriendly timber. Cobelpa stated that EU regulations will not be required to be implemented by member states until 2013, making Belgium the only European country to implement them ahead of schedule.

Cobelpa points out that businesses are increasingly using "certified" paper, meaning it has been traced and verified by PEFC or FSC agencies to prove that the wood fiber or recycled paper pulp source meets environmental requirements. The aim is to prevent illegal logging of timber for raw materials, which damages valuable forest biodiversity and ecological reserves.

Belgium's paper industry produces 2 million tons of paper annually, with a total output value of approximately €2 billion and employs over 4,000 people. Currently, the Belgian paper industry consumes 2.9 million cubic feet of wood annually, mostly imported from France and Germany. It also uses pulp, half of which comes from Europe, North America, and Latin America. Some sources violate environmental regulations, such as the large-scale deforestation for the cultivation of genetically modified agricultural products, as seen in countries like Indonesia, which has been placed on the red list of countries affected by this practice.
