Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Talking Point: Getting ready for PPWR requirements
Q: What would be your advice to companies across the packaging to best prepare for the PPWR?
Reitz recommends starting immediately, getting control of packaging data and aligning packaging, procurement, legal and marketing teams around a shared roadmap. Companies should decide which capabilities to build internally and which specialist support to obtain, while securing materials and beginning physical trials early.
The Talking Point: Getting ready for PPWR requirements
Q: What kind of insights have you gained so far from your work at PreZero Packaging, or what have some of the learnings been?
Reitz says packaging data readiness is poor even among frontrunners. Critical information, such as material composition, adhesive details and PFAS risks, is often absent from company systems or held by suppliers, making collaboration and data sharing across the value chain essential.
Packaging design and sustainability with Now New Next
Q: What challenges would you say do companies face on the journey from sustainability direction to actual packaging design, and then finally the product reaching the shelf?
Kuks says practical details can change the right design choice. In an insect-repellent project, biocide residue could harm recycling, so the team selected a dark-green bottle to keep it out of a high-quality recycling stream.
Packaging design and sustainability with Now New Next
Q: From your viewpoint from the packaging design angle, what role do you think does design play when it comes to sustainability? And would you say maybe it's sometimes been a bit overlooked?
Kuks says design translates regulatory and sustainability advice into packaging that complies, runs on production lines, protects products, manages costs and appeals to consumers. When designers are brought in late, important trade-offs can be lost.
Sustainability Perspectives: A CEN design for recycling standards deep dive
Q: Could you talk us through some of the key points of the CEN guidelines that are relevant for labels?
Labels should not disrupt sorting. For rigid packaging, they generally need to separate during recycling, while flexible packaging should use labels made from the same material as the packaging where possible.
