The paper and packaging industry is an important sector of the Egyptian economy that enhances the provision of employment and promotes industrial development. However, it faces financial restraints, such as increased production costs and springing environmental regulations. Using the DEA technique this study evaluates the financial performance of seven Egyptian paper and packaging firms in the period of 2018-2021. The study compares the efficiency of seven firms across key financial ratios (profitability, liquidity, solvency) using the CCR and BCC models. Large efficiency variations are reported in terms of strong profitability and liquidity management by high-performing firms; smaller firms, in contrast, are never able to smooth their debts efficiently and have poor asset utilization. The result shows that eco-friendly investments have more financial benefits; therefore, these findings emphasize the requirement of firms to cultivate financial methods whereby cost control and sustainability practice integration renders competitiveness. This study offers useful information to investors and policymakers on how to invest strategically for long-term growth. Furthermore, future research should include a bigger sample size and qualitative factors such as technological innovation and managerial expertise to explore financial efficiency for the sector.
