23 Jun 2023 --- The UK department for environment, food and rural affairs (Defra) says it is willing to increase packaging recycling targets for waste wood following a call to action by the Wood Recyclers’ Association (WRA). The association sent a letter co-signed by the Wood Panel Industries Federation (WPIF) and Confor, a UK-based non-profit sustainable forestry and wood-using businesses, to Defra in May. The letter called for higher packaging recycling targets from 2024 to drive investment in recycling as much wood as possible.
