Next packaging will be ecofriedly.
In Italy and worldwide consumers choices are for a more and more sustainable and fully recyclable packaging .
Ecofriendly consumers ask for more transparent and sustainable packaging; more than 94% of them believe packaging should include more detailed informations regarding sustainability of packaging materials involved.
Global trend is more and more environment oriented and supported by perhaps 50% consumers that reduced purchases of products with not sustainable packaging and 9/10th of them prefere easily recyclable packaging ( European Consumer Packaging Perceptions).
Recycling (see recent Economic Packaging Conference, important meeting for the packaging market) is the topic of circular economy and related UE news.
The challenge is based on the followings : innovation and sustainability.
Sustainability is a medium – long term choice, challenging and strategic for each company. It’s a critical path of small and big steps company can achieve thanks to r&d investments and a new culture.
