Our exclusive content
- How packaging design affects the choice of mono or multi-material plastic options; options for recycling and quality of recycled polyolefin packaging
- Chemical recycling could offer the potential for ‘difficult-to-recycle’ flexible plastic packaging streams to supplement mechanical recycling
- More disposable incomes in developing countries means there is a higher proportion of consumer spending on packaged products, including packaged food, luxury products, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
- How the packaging industry is responding to legislation and growing public concern about package recycling and sustainability
- With the trend towards packaging recyclability gathering speed, more attention is also being paid to designing the original package to be more easily recyclable. Current packaging design makes recycling difficult to achieve since different materials feature in different elements of the final packaging product.
