Industry News W


elcome to Green Packaging International, a brand new magazine for cutting edge companies leading the race to introduce and develop new ideas and methods for ‘green’ packaging of goods. The world is


inexorably moving towards the goal of sustainable development and this will affect all areas of the global economy, none more so than in the field of packaging as plastic pollution of the environment becomes increasingly unacceptable.


This preview edition of Green Packaging International provides


an introduction to the editorial content of the magazine, which is scheduled to be launched at the end of February, 2021, and the advertisers that have supported this ‘pilot’ issue reflect the initial interest already generated by the title.


Green Packaging International will keep buyers and specifiers up-to-


date with the latest worldwide developments in packaging materials, including those based on paper, card, corrugated boards, glass, metal and new bioproducts. Equipment, production lines and even trends in recycling will also receive extensive coverage.


We hope you enjoy reading the magazine and would appreciate


comments or suggestions for areas to explore in future issues. Vince Maynard
