Design for Circularity: A look at the international landscape

Navigating the international landscape of PET plastic packaging design can be tricky, especially with mandatory EPR now being in effect.
It means that we need to achieve increased collection and recycling rates, and our members need to:
- Include increased recycled content in their products (up to 20% by year 5)
- Conduct an LCA on their products by November 2026,
- Design for Circularity in order to avoid the penalties that will come with eco-modulation.
In this webinar, we take a look at everything concerning the international landscape of designing for circularity, with innovations in both packaging and design.
In this session we will hear from guest speakers, Stijn Billiet, Global Director of Sustainability for MCC Label, Marco Duarte, Worldwide Tethered Closure Specialist at Husky Technologies, and Mike Jefferson, Manager at EPRO
