The Paper packaging landscape is changing. Learn more!
As we all know, the European Paper packaging landscape is changing daily due to different consumer trends and behaviours on the one hand, and legislation on the other. Companies need to stay up-to-date and adjust their strategies accordingly in order to keep ahead of the game. The best way to face future challenges is to solve the current obstacles and look to the horizon for futures ones. That is why have invited Kennert Johannson from CEPI EUROKRAFT (European Association of Sack Kraft and Kraft Paper Producers) to talk to us about paper carrier bags, and the current and future European landscape around paper and packaging legislations.
At the same time, we at Mondi have set our MAP 2030 goals to contribute to a better world. We believe that by focusing on circular driven solutions created by empowered people, and taking action on climate, we will have the most impact. With this goal in mind, Mondi Kraft Paper as a paper manufacturer is focusing on solutions that help our customers to move towards a circular economy.
Products and raw materials that are supporting a circular economy is our main focus, and with this webinar we want to share our paper expertise and how it could help a retailer towards a circular economy and sustainability, without compromising the most important goals of packaging, quality, and performance.
