Gathering for the soiree!
In the realm of packaging, sustainability and innovation are taking centre stage. Here are some of the latest developments:
Vetropack has introduced a new lightweight glass brand, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of their products. This move is part of an industry-wide shift towards more eco-friendly packaging solutions.
Over in Poland, an industry alliance has critically assessed the draft of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations. The concerns raised highlight the need for careful consideration in the implementation of such policies.
Meanwhile, supermarkets are under scrutiny due to a packaging check that revealed excessive packaging waste. This finding underscores the urgent need for more responsible packaging practices in the retail sector.
Innovation is not just about reducing waste, though. Packaging users are pushing boundaries with self-rotating packaging, a concept designed to make the packaging itself obsolete, furthering the goal of a circular economy.
The Circular Packaging 2030 initiative is also addressing the issue of PCR (Post Consumer Recycled) scarcity by developing strategies to overcome this challenge. This is a crucial step towards a more sustainable future for packaging.
Bertolli has taken a significant step in this direction with the introduction of olive oil bottles made entirely from recycled PET. This initiative is part of Bertolli's broader sustainability drive to minimise new plastic use and carbon footprint.
At industry events like LabelExpo and drinktec, trends and innovations in packaging are being showcased. These events provide a platform for companies to present their eco-friendly solutions and for the industry to collaborate on sustainable practices.
However, challenges remain. HPE has warned of potential consequences of the EU deforestation regulation, highlighting the need for careful consideration in all aspects of sustainability.
