For the July issue of Flexible Packaging, we spoke with Allison Lin, global VP of packaging sustainability at Mars offers practical and effective ways to create a circular economy.
In another feature this month, The Progression of Paper Mills, we address why paper mills have been declining — and what the future holds.
This issue also looks at a few post-pandemic trends in the packaging industry that are beginning to shape and improve business.
To meet consumer expectations, package printing companies are adopting green practices, but the myth persists that going green comes at the expense of profit. The reality is that decarbonization and profitability can coexist and become key differentiators.
Market activity remains hot as Hybrid Software acquires software technology to accelerate packaging design and a new recycling facility for flexible packaging materials aims to be operational by 2023 in Minnesota.
One silver lining from the 2020 pandemic was how resilient businesses and workers became and how new forms of technology were adopted to keep operations running. For example, online conference calls allowed for business continuity, and now companies have adopted these hybrid approaches to business, including brands and printers.
Allison Lin, global VP of Packaging Sustainability at Mars, sits down with Flexible Packaging to discuss how executive leadership is vital to creating a circular economy throughout the packaging industry.
In 2022, the circular economy is the de facto buzzword in the food and beverage world and, quite frankly, the industry is undergoing massive change in all areas: consumer behavior and expectations, smart manufacturing investments, and sustainability partnerships.
Manufactured by Hilex, the new bags are designed to make shopping for produce easier for customers and are offered in both conventional and compostable versions.
This range of renewable and compostable films can now be laser coded to enable additional consumer communication, without the need for traditional printing.
