🌍 Inspiring Moments at the Sustainable Packaging Summit in Amsterdam this week! I had the pleasure of attending this year’s Packaging Europe Conference — what an inspiring experience! From groundbreaking innovations to sustainability insights, the event was packed with valuable takeaways and conversations with industry leaders. 🚀 Key Highlights: Sustainable Solutions: It was incredible to see so many companies committed to eco-friendly packaging innovations, proving that sustainable choices can drive real impact across the supply chain. Technology & Automation: Learning about advancements in smart packaging and automation was a game-changer, promising a future where efficiency meets sustainability. It also confirmed that TOMRA is in a leading position to provide the right recycling solutions when it comes to sensor-based-sorting technologies. Networking & Collaboration: Meeting with like-minded professionals and experts in the field was truly inspiring. These conversations will undoubtedly lead to new collaborations and ideas. Thank you to Packaging Europe for hosting such a forward-thinking event, and to all the speakers and exhibitors who shared their insights and innovations. Excited to take these learnings back and explore how we can further contribute to the future of packaging. #PackagingEurope #Sustainability #Innovation #PackagingIndustry #Networking #FutureOfPackaging #TOMRA

One key reason why the recycling rate for flexible packaging in Europe remains around 12% is the limited focus on addressing production challenges associated with recyclable materials. At the Smithers Sustainability in Packaging event, we are showcasing solutions at the production level with #DigitalHeating technology. I look forward to fruitful discussions and exploring ways to accelerate the growth of recycling rates in the industry.

When embracing Sustainability, Packaging has a new purpose: "Consume WHAT you Love, Love HOW you Consume" 3 main messages shared at the first-of-its-kind PLMA’s event on Packaging directed to Retailers and Private Label manufacturers: 1. Private Labels have a unique opportunity to newly differentiate themselves and prove Consumers’ choice of “Value & Impact for Money” to be right. 2. The investment to Sustainable Packaging can deliver positive and lasting returns, when it is considered as a lever for Growth and Value. 3. Private Labels partnering with Mondi Group means sharing climate change data for Retailers achieving Scope 3 reduction, marketing the sustainability impact for business Growth via communication to Consumers, and creating business Value from planning, scaling and replicating collaboration. Thank you to Peggy Davies, Melanie Paijmans, Edgar Elzerman for inviting Mondi to this event. #PLMA #sustainability #circulareconomy #sustainablepackaging #packaging #privatelabels #retailer

We're near the end... But finally, closing reflections on #SustainablePackagingSummit2024. Bruno Van Gompel frames it with five questions (and answers!): 1. Are we going to lose momentum? No – you could have expected that there would be pushback on targets; in fact, what happened is the opposite: for example, Francesca Stevens from EUROPEN strongly challenging us and the Commission to keep on track. 2. Will sustainability drive your competitive advantage? Looking at the many innovations presented, yes – as illustrated by Virginie Helias from Procter & Gamble in her keynote speech with the concept of ‘Irresistible superiority’. 3. Are we ready to transform regulatory requirements into innovations? We might have expected a lot of pushback, but again, they have been embraced. A great example Bruno gives is the CEFLEX - A Circular Economy for Flexible Packaging consortium; changing the entire business model for flexibles from the bottom up. 4. Are we ready to scale pilots into industry-wide solutions? Bruno concludes ‘yes’. 'In one session alone I counted seven pilots being scaled. Rather than calling something a pilot, why not call it ‘the first phase of a roll-out’?' 5. Are you ready to cooperate, or will you continue to work alone? 'The biggest difference this year is the number of consortiums and partnerships working together. This was maybe best illustrated by the Sustainability Awards: around one-third of the awards presented were to companies working in tandem to come up with solutions.' We'd like to thank each and every person for coming along and participating, and we look forward to welcoming you again next year. Let's keep moving forward.
