This year’s EUROSAC congress "Naturally Sustainable" took place in Stockholm, the first "European Green Capital", from June 10 to 12.
The main criterion for the EUROSAC Grand Prix thus was that the sack had to be a direct relation with Nature and Sustainable Development. The jury members were Giovanni Fiorini and Alfred Rockenfeller (paper sack manufacturers from Italy and Germany) and Eric Schubert (kraft paper manufacturer from South Africa).
The winner was the "Terra Bag", developed by Mondi Industrial Bags. Terra Bag is a paper sack with one or more plies of paper with a biodegradable film for humidity protection. The sack is certified according to EN 13432, entirely biodegradable and optimised for industrial composting, turning waste into valuable humus. It has a reduced environmental impact and reduced CO2 emissions and saves non-renewable resources.
