Who we are
Created in 1952, EUROSAC is a European Federation headquartered in Paris, rallying the European Multiwall Paper Sack Industry.
What we do
For over half a Century, EUROSAC has exerted itself in the safeguarding and promotion of its Members’ business sector by undertaking distinctive actions.
The Federation surveys and examines activities and initiatives in the areas of industry whether technical or environmental and actively contributes to these prevalent topics and emerging issues.
In conjunction with an external independent consultant, EUROSAC is a source of authoritative detailed information on the paper sack market offering its members monthly statistics.
In terms of lobbying and research, the organisation works closely with CEPI Eurokraft in the ESPACE Programme (Environmental Strategy Program and Communication Eurosac/CEPI Eurokraft). Together we provide valuable guidelines and studies, among others: LCI & Carbon Footprint.
Eurosac is an active member in European paper packaging industry networks in order to assure the liaison with the European authorities in Brussels and follow up the development of European regulations likely to affect the multiwall paper sack industry.
EUROSAC represents a forum for its members to define common positions and a place of exchange of skill and knowledge, all the while assuring mutual respect amongst manufacturers and adherence to the Competition of Law Compliance Programme.
