Balancing raw material usage and environmental footprint while ensuring functionality and convenience remains paramount in the packaging industry. Superior shelf-life performance and barrier qualities compared to other substrates are key factors driving end-users to opt for film-based packaging solutions. Ultimately, packaging serves to both sell and protect goods, with flexible packaging excelling in this regard. The shift towards recyclable solutions with recycled content is prompting a reevaluation of specifications, while the push towards circularity is instigating transformative changes in the sector. As the leading packaging advisor, we assist companies in extending their value chains to meet these evolving demands.
