What Goes Into The Box - Chemistry's Fundamental Role in Sustainable Packaging
Without chemistry we wouldn’t have packaging at all — sustainable or otherwise. Yet, the role of chemistry in packaging is often unacknowledged, even by seasoned packaging professionals. This article explores the role of chemistry, both as an integral part of every package, and as the driving force behind true circularity in this sector.
Enfoque holístico: el papel fundamental de la química en los empaques sostenibles
Sin la química, no tendríamos empaques, ni sostenibles ni de ningún otro tipo. Sin embargo, el rol de la química en el empaque suele pasar desapercibido, incluso entre profesionales del sector con amplia experiencia. Este artículo explora el rol de la química, como parte integral en cada empaque, como fuerza motriz de la verdadera circularidad en este sector.
Full Value Chain Collaboration - The Fastest Way to Sustainable Packaging
I recently asked a fellow packaging professional for their take on the industry’s progress towards sustainable packaging. The answer — “It’s rather like building a plane while you’re flying it” — succinctly captures the prevailing combination of complexity and urgency that all players in the value chain are faced with.
