• Discount for the use of recycled/cardboard:
The weight of paper and cardboard packaging
incorporating raw materials from recycling is reduced by
10% if more than 50% of the packaging’s total
weight consists of recycled material. To benefit from the
discount, a certificate may be sent from the packaging
supplier.
