Don't miss PLASTICS' VP of Sustainability, Patrick Krieger,'s presentation tomorrow, November 3, at PackExpo! He'll be on the Industry Speaks Stage (N-4544) from 12:30 - 1:00 pm discussing Plastics Sustainability Through Collaboration. What'll be covered: The packaging industry is evolving rapidly to respond to internal and external pressures to develop solutions that are more circular and sustainable. This session will discuss how the plastic packaging value chain is coming together to promote innovative products and programs that address industry needs. Learn how PLASTICS is leading on developing recycling end markets, creating new educational and advocacy programs to improve flexibles and film recycling, and aiding companies to be the first step in eliminating plastic in the environment by preventing resin loss.

When it comes to plastic and sustainability what are we solving for? While plastics have been proven through life cycle assessments to be the lowest carbon footprint material in the majority of cases, the issue of single use plastic and waste remains. However, an “improvement” in one area that leads to a negative environmental consequence in another, is not truly sustainable. Listen to the CAP Pack’s discussion with thermoforming expert Conor Carlin in our latest episode to hear more about the balance act that comes with developing sustainable packaging: https://bit.ly/3JYUav2

It's Circular Economy Month in Canada but for PPEC members and the Canadian paper packaging industry, it is always #CircularEconomyMonth. By prioritizing the use of recycled ♻️ content, PPEC members embed a circular 🔄 approach to using and reusing recycled paper in every aspect of their business operations -- from using recycled content as their feedstock, to minimizing waste in their operations, and to ultimately making paper packaging products that can be recycled at home and in businesses across Canada. From production to recovery, the paper packaging industry is committed to environmental sustainability year-round, and it's been that way for decades.

Yesterday our colleague Haley Lowry, Global Sustainability Director for Dow Packaging & Specialty Plastics, came to Brussels to discuss with policy makers and stakeholders key policy enablers for our circular business strategy -aligned to our global goal to commercialize 3 million metric tones by 2030 of offerings from plastic wastes, bio and other wastes- and key role #PPWR in discussion will play for it. Thanks to all the representatives from #packaging value chain for joining us in our offices to pass your views on still open challenges and how this policy will drive packaging circularity, reconfirming once more #collaboration is a key lever for a new circular plastics packaging economy.

What is the current state of DRS (Deposit Return Scheme) implementation in Europe? ♻️ Some countries are progressing quickly, while others are moving very slowly in their efforts to meet the recycling goals set by the EU directive on Single-Use Plastics (SUP), which establishes minimum collection requirements for PET drink containers of 77% by 2025 and 90% by 2029. Isn't it great to be part of a company that has such a huge impact on our environment and the circular economy? And we're dreaming big—Europe is just the beginning!
