You can now apply for the 10th edition of European Paper Recycling Awards!

Every two years, the European Paper Recycling Awards distinguish European projects, initiatives or campaigns that change the way we recycle paper in Europe and support us in our ambitious paper recycling rate goals.
The competition is open to all entities based in Europe including schools, universities, NGOs, national and regional authorities, companies and associations. 
 

There are two award categories: 
1)    Information and Education
2)    Innovative Technologies and R&D.

Eligible projects, initiatives or campaigns will be evaluated based on the following criteria: 
o    Relevance and Originality, 
o    Achievements,
o    Possibility to reproduce the project, 
o    Cost effectiveness. 

We are looking forward to receiving your applications here by 10 December 2025. The awards ceremony will take place in February 2026 in the European Parliament in Brussels.

Background:
The European Paper Recycling Awards are run by the European Paper Recycling Council (EPRC) which encompasses the entire paper recycling value chain across Europe. The EPRC was set up as an industry self-initiative in November 2000 to monitor progress towards meeting the paper recycling targets set out in the 2000 European Declaration on Paper Recycling.
