Rethinking packaging, promoting recycling

The demand for environmentally friendly packaging continues to grow. This development is posing real challenges for brand owners. How do they make the switch to flexible packaging that is recyclable? What needs to be considered? How can the issue of recycling be advanced? And why does Europe still need to catch up on topics such as “defining recyclability” and “test methods”? Insight into these questions and more is featured in a new episode of Sappi’s Blue Couch Series.

Sappi is leading the way in developing solutions in this vitally important area. The company has revolutionised the flexible packaging market and was in fact the world’s first manufacturer to produce an innovative packaging paper with integrated barriers and sealing properties. The product portfolio has been growing steadily in recent years.
