PKN talks... Regeneration, the natural evolution beyond sustainability, with Cath Cornaggia of Avery Dennison Label and Packaging Materials ANZ.

In this episode, Lindy Hughson, managing editor & publisher of PKN Packaging News, talks with Cath Cornaggia, commercial director of Avery Dennison Label and Packaging Materials, Australia & New Zealand.

We discuss the concept of regeneration as a natural evolution beyond sustainability, which focuses on active replenishment over just reducing the resources we use. Cath tells us how this is accomplished by the digitisation of packaging and further collaboration within the industry.

The discussion also explores the role that the government, packaging suppliers, and research play in this initiative. This gives us an interesting insight into how Avery Dennison is implementing these solutions globally in various industries.

The episode also unpacks defining and achieving a circular economy, and the role of the consumer and societal equality has in achieving this. Finally we discuss the opening of Avery Dennison's new facility in Moorabbin, designed with sustainability in mind.
