solutions made of paper, cardboard and paperboard, there will be new, sustainable materials in numerous variants with a focus on sustainability. Plastic packaging, which has the largest share of the market, is still gf great importance, especially for product safety and shelf life. Here, too, there are new approaches towards a circular economy, for example recyclates or reusable packaging. And the increasing digitalisation of the industry is also leading to new developments in the packaging sector. Some examples for this are digital labels, smart packaging and packaging with QR codes.
Four hot topics illustrate the trends The developments in the packaging sector illustrate which issues are at the forefront for the processing and packaging industry and its customers as a whole. Megatrends such as sustainability and digitalisation, numerous economic and ecological, but also political and social changes and challenges are of concern for companies and provide a boost to innovation at this year’s interpack. The circular economy will be a top issue: It seems to be a
simple model, but is also all-encompassing and poses major challenges in many areas. In the age of climate change, the important thing is to produce as little non-recyclable waste
