DonDon’’t forget recycling..t forget recycling..Philippe Wolper - Managing Director, APEAL
‘Packaging in a Low Carbon Economy’ (EDGE)

Worldwide = 42 billion tonnes = 100%
EUROPE
12%
CO2 EQUIVALENT EMISSIONS
On a yearly basis
Packaging in EUROPE
0.2%
Steel for Packaging in
EUROPE 0.027%
Steel for Packaging : 0.027% of global CO2 equivalent emissions = 11.4 million tonnes
