The European Federation of Wooden Pallet and Packaging Manufacturers (FEFPEB) has advised that the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) will not have significant implications for customers using wood pallets and packaging for transport. The organization issued a statement to customers which requires businesses to prove products on the EU market have not been sourced from recently deforested land or contributed to its degradation. In a newsletter, the organisation said packaging would only become subject to the new EUDR rules when placed on the market for the first time as a standalone product, with its status changing as immediately when it is used. “As soon as the pallet or packaging is used to support, protect or carry another product, it is no longer covered by the EUDR.  …“Once the concerned packaging becomes a packaging material used exclusively as packaging… it is then not covered by the scope 27 of the Regulation.”
