Celebrating World Environment day with a Green Week event on 10 June

As part of the commemoration for World Environment Day, the Food and Beverage Carton Alliance (FBCA) will partipcate in EU Green Week 2026.

From sustainable land use and forest resilience to biodiversity and ecosystem restoration, discussions will explore how responsibly managed forests and forest-based value chains contribute to stronger, more resilient landscapes. These are not future concepts, but solutions already in place and making a difference.

For the FBCA, this conversation is especially relevant. Fibre-based packaging plays a key role in connecting sustainable material sourcing with circular outcomes, including collection, sorting and recycling. Events like this provide a platform to share experience, align on policy direction, and accelerate progress together.

The Forest Based Bioeconomy in Action: Carbon removals, nature restoration and land use 

At a  time when the transition to a circular and climate-neutral economy is accelerating, the focus is shifting from commitments to implementation. On 10 June, the FBCA will join Cepi in an event that will highlight how the forest-based sector is already delivering tangible results across Europe.

Bringing together policymakers, industry leaders and experts, the event will showcase practical examples from across Europe, alongside perspectives on how to scale impact further. The focus is clear: building on what works, strengthening collaboration, and ensuring that the forest-based bioeconomy continues to contribute to Europe’s climate and environmental objectives.

Hear from industry leaders and experts on how forest-based value chains are already driving climate and environmental progress across Europe, and what is needed to scale them up.

Speakers:

• Nuno Santos
• Tytti Peltonen
• Alexander Graf
