Hot Topics Case Study: Innovating for Packaging Regulation

This case study examines the latest innovation trends responding to packaging regulations around the world.

The most important components of today's packaging legislation are rooted in motivating the adoption of sustainable models and behaving in an environmentally responsible way. This is as decisive in material choice and design as the packaging's physical benefits to the product and consumer. The ongoing evolution of such regulation creates a powerful incentive for packaging manufacturers and their clients to adapt quickly to upcoming deadlines and innovate.

Scope

• Sustainability is driving innovation in eco-friendly materials and manufacturing, showing that the industry can respond to that pressure for change.
• Consumers themselves expect sustainable packaging, although this must be cost-effective for them and in combination with more intrinsic product benefits.
• Regulations will require increasingly standardized on pack and digitally traceable information to support transparency and accountability against EPR reporting.
• Inputs such as water, natural gas, and electricity face increased scrutiny. Efficient production will require creative, sustainable solutions to reduce impact.
