"Therefore, it is of the utmost importance policy decisions adopted today take into account both carbon emissions and freshwater consumption and all industries and sectors review how they can mitigate their impact." "At Huhtamaki, we are actively working to minimize our carbon footprint, setting a Science Based Target, and we are currently assessing water management plans across all our operations." "We believe that investments in waste management infrastructure are needed to increase further the recycling rates of paper-based packaging, which will further reduce their climate impact," adds Charles Héaulmé, president and CEO of Huhtamaki. Challenging reuse assumptions Stora Enso says the LCA challenges the general assumption of reuse being more environmentally beneficial than single-use. The EU Waste Framework Directive sets out five steps for dealing with waste, and the model assumes reuse should be preferred over recycling.
