In a world where Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a key performance
indicator, the choice of packaging materials is strategic. The fibre drum (also known as kraft
drum or fibreboard drum) perfectly meets these sustainability challenges by combining
technical performance with environmental responsibility.
Made from renewable materials such as kraft paper and wood fibres, the fibre drum fits
naturally into the circular economy: fewer waste streams, greater reuse potential, and a
lower carbon footprint. Let’s explore how the fibre drum concretely contributes to this
sustainable model.
A fibre drum is a cylindrical container made of kraft paper, wood fibres, and recycled
paperboard, sometimes lined internally depending on its use (barrier layers, waterproof
coatings, etc.). It is widely used for the transport and storage of dry bulk goods, powders,
food ingredients, and chemicals.
The circular economy is based on five core stages: design, use, reuse, recycle, and recover.
The fibre drum fits each stage perfectly.
Fibre drums are made from responsibly managed forests or recycled fibres, reducing
dependence on fossil resources.
Their design limits excess material use: optimized walls, reduced fittings, and eco-friendly
adhesives compatible with recycling.
Durable and adaptable, fibre drums are designed for multiple uses where feasible, reducing
waste and resource consumption.
After use, fibre drums can be dismantled and recycled into new paper or cardboard
products.
The fibre drum is more than an eco-friendly container—it’s a tangible solution for
companies committed to reducing their environmental footprint and meeting circular
economy goals.
