Explore various strategies on how to close the material gap.

By 2030, regulations such as the Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation will mandate that food and non-food packaging contain a defined percentage of recycled material. These measures are designed to accelerate the circular economy—but they also introduce significant challenges for the industry.

One of the biggest hurdles is the limited supply of recycled material, particularly for food-grade applications. This scarcity makes it difficult to balance sustainability goals with economic feasibility. So, how can we address this critical material gap?

Watch the webinar to uncover the true scale of the shortage and explore the key challenges plastic packaging manufacturers face in closing it.

Adding valuable insights, Birte Dorenkamp from Emmi, Switzerland’s largest dairy company, will present an inspiring example of innovation: their pioneering r-PS yogurt cups.
