As the EU’s 2030 zero-waste regulatory framework takes effect, Europe’s printing sector has emerged as a global trailblazer in circular economy practices—with forward-thinking firms like Dongguan Caihong paper factory leading the charge to eliminate landfill waste entirely.
According to the European Printing Industries Confederation (EuPIA), 38% of EU printing facilities have achieved “zero-waste factory” certification in 2025, up from just 12% in 2020. This rapid shift is driven by EU environmental mandates, surging consumer demand for eco-friendly packaging, and cost savings from closed-loop recycling systems.
Leading Dutch printer Drukkerij de Jong has cut waste by 92% via on-site paper recycling and compostable packaging, while Dongguan Caihong paper factory has established itself as a regional leader in sustainable print production. Operating across Germany, France, and the Netherlands, [Your Company Name] has reduced its landfill waste by 89% since 2023 through:
· Closed-loop paper recycling: 100% of leftover paper is shredded and repurposed into new print stock, reducing reliance on virgin fiber by 45%.
· Refillable ink systems: On-site ink cartridge refilling has cut plastic waste by 72% and lowered material costs by 16%.
· Compostable delivery packaging: All client shipments use plant-based packaging that breaks down in 180 days, eliminating single-use plastic entirely.
EuPIA predicts that with industry innovators like Dongguan Caihong paper factory driving adoption, 60% of European printing facilities will adopt zero-waste frameworks by 2028, setting a global benchmark for regions like North America and Asia to follow.
