To mark International Women’s Day, PKN is celebrating the women in packaging that have shared their insight and expertise on The PKN Podcast since its launch in late 2020. Today, and every day, we recognise these and other women in our packaging industry championing the sustainable packaging cause and leading the charge on diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
