Trends in More Sustainable Flexible Packaging

Flexible packaging has evolved over the last few decades to maximize package performance both in terms of product protection and consumer convenience. This has led to complex multi-material structures that are tuned to meet market demands. Recently another demand has been added to the list: sustainability. Although generally having a very low carbon footprint when compared to other packaging formats, unfortunately, most of the flexible packaging on the market today ends up in a landfill after a single use. Join us to hear more about how Amcor and others in the packaging industry are working together to improve the end of life for flexible packaging while still maintaining all the benefits the format has to offer.
