The European Federation of Wooden Pallet and Packaging manufacturers (FEFPEB) has launched four new language versions of its Packaging from Nature website, as part of its public relations campaign to promote wood as the raw material of choice for pallets and packaging.
The original English version of the website launched in October last year and features information on the benefits of using wood over plastics, plus a section on facts and figures about timber use.
“The new website is a tool which allows us to communicate the Packaging from Nature message across Europe,” said FEFPEB president Gil Covey.
“We are encouraging our members to make full use of the site to ensure their customers are aware of the compelling environmental and economic reasons for using timber.”
FEFPEB estimates that €40bn worth of product is moved on wooden packaging and pallets every year in Europe alone, but the sector is facing increasing competition from plastics and other competing materials.
The new versions of the site are available in French, German, Spanish and Italian.
