"- Packaging is at the heart of the European circular agenda, and the challenges are many. First of all, we need to review packaging functionality. Today, we view it as something unnecessary and negative. However, packaging plays an important role for sustainability. It serves, for example, to reduce waste. Sometimes, we forget why we started using packaging to begin with. Also, there is currently a mismatch in the industry. Packaging is rapidly developing, and it’s given more and more functionality for various areas, such as logistics, but the recycling systems have not come far enough to efficiently recycle more complex materials."
