The new director’s arrival has become effective with less than a month to go before Fruit Attraction 2023.The most important event of the year for fresh produce is the date chosen to present the most recent FEDEMCO milestone to sector professionals: the creation of ECOWOOXÒ. This in-house certification programme developed by FEDEMCO is a guarantee for recyclability and arose out of the need to facilitate the adaptation to the European Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (PPWD) for producers and packaging companies. The seal received proves the full recyclability, eco-design and energy recovery of the corresponding packaging.

The FEDEMCO stand at Fruit Attraction will be located at P3B24, a space available to member companies emphasizing sustainability in line with its latest campaign: the most sustainable packaging. As always, this exhibit space will be the meeting place for the annual meeting of Grow International which is the European body encompassing all European national wood packaging federations. It is presided over by Mr Enrique Soler Segrelles, the president of FEDEMCO.
