Launched last month, the Ball & Doggett podcast focuses on sustainability, and will form part of a wider website platform called ecoporium, positioned as 'The Destination for Sustainable Packaging'.

Jackson says ecoporium has been created to educate and inform the market on Ball & Doggett's Labels & Packaging range, and share knowledge with sustainability in focus. With a view to extending the reach of this information sharing, Ball & Doggett has teamed up with Print21 stablemate PKN Packaging News as its exclusive media partner.

"It’s about the conversation, the collective impact and sharing important information pertaining to sustainable packaging," Jackson said.
