The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) is inviting all of industry to the Global Packaging Design for Recycling Guide launch webinar on 4 October.

The one hour webinar will provide an overview of the guide, followed by a panel discussion with the WPO, ECR and the University of Applied Science Vienna.

Panelists will include Nerida Kelton, VP Sustainability & Save Food, World Packaging Organisation (WPO), Teresa Mischek-Moritz, GM, ECR Austria, and Dr Ernst Krottendorfer, senior lecturer, University of Applied Science Vienna.

ECR Community and the World Packaging Organisation (WPO)'s new global Packaging Design for Recycling Guide promotes better design of packaging for recycling and supports the transition to a more circular economy.

The guide is a starting point to understand best practice examples using state-of-the-art technology that can then be applied and tailored to suit the recovery and recyclability capabilities and infrastructure on a regional and local level. It can be applied to products from the Food, Near-Food and Non-Food segments and is applicable to all primary, secondary and tertiary packaging; provided that product-specific regulations of the packaging system are observed.

The easy-to-read guide with a traffic light system is designed to provide FMCG and Consumer Product Group (CPG) businesses with a global recommendation for circular packaging design. 

All retailers, suppliers, service providers, academics, associations are invited to attend the webinar. To register, click here.
