The paper packaging materials are omnipresent and the problem became more emerging during the COVID-19 pandemic as it facilitated the consumers behavior and caused an increase in online, ecommerce and social media market. The average consumer collects several boxes per week which end up in the waste management facility. Imperfection and leakages in the segregation and collection systems result in only partial recovery of paper packaging and contamination of the portion that ends up in the paper recycling facilities resulting in higher cost and environmental impact of the recycling process. Instead of recycling, recovery and regeneration, the share of the reuse could be increased to reduce the environmental footprint of the life cycle. The solutions developed within the project will enable the improvement of waste management system for authorities and contribute to transformation of business models in logistic, parcel and ecommerce businesses. Those stakeholders make a significant contribution to the life cycle of packaging and should be responsible and obliged to mitigate the footprint. Many of the companies operate in different countries, with different frameworks, cultures and consumer awareness. The goal is to help them adopt and to point out effective solutions, together with increasing social awareness, providing new solutions for household waste management and opportunities for additional savings on packaging for people, small sales companies and local stores.
