Cardboard Case Files – Real-Life Good Practices
In this edition, we’re highlighting two inspiring examples of how companies across Europe are rethinking paper and cardboard to reduce waste and strengthen circular packaging systems. From smart upcycling to pioneering material innovation, these cases show what’s possible when creativity meets sustainability.
Paboco – Developing the Next Generation of Paper Bottles
Paboco, founded in 2019 as a joint venture between Carlsberg Group, EcoXpac, BillerudKorsnäs and ALPLA, is developing paper bottles made from around 85% FSC-certified paper. A thin barrier layer ensures strength while the company works towards fully bio-based solutions.

KAROPACK – Upcycling Cardboard into Smart Packaging Material
Instead of discarding used cardboard boxes, KAROPACK transforms them into high-quality padding and filling material using its “Karocycler” machines. This approach keeps cardboard in circulation longer and replaces plastic-based foams and bubble wrap with fibre-based alternatives.
