What the materials cover

This seminar outlines strategies and requirements of the circular economy for packaging. It focuses on the new German Packaging Act and its demands on retailers and packaging suppliers, plus European and national waste law. It covers material flows in Germany and Europe, waste law versus chemicals legislation, and approaches such as Cradle to Cradle. The talks show how packaging recyclability can be improved and introduce new sorting and recovery technologies and analytical methods for determining waste composition. They address developers, designers, buyers and decision-makers in packaging, food and retail.
