What the materials cover

These presentation materials from this compact seminar show how circular economy principles can be applied to packaging. The focus is on the new German Packaging Act and on the requirements that legislation and retailers place on packaging suppliers. Further topics include material flows in Germany and Europe, European and national waste law, the relationship between waste law and chemicals and hazardous substances regulation, and the Cradle to Cradle concept. The materials also present ways to improve the recyclability of packaging and explain new separation and sorting technologies. They are intended for developers, designers, purchasers and decision-makers in the packaging, food and filling industries as well as in retail.
