"Nobody can do this journey alone, and so we need innovation and commitment from all involved." – Giacomo Canali, Barilla
Consumer concern about the negative impact plastics have on the environment has put greater pressure on the packaging industry to develop sustainable and renewable alternatives. Brand owners within different markets are focusing on sustainability in their packaging designs and processes, choosing materials with the lowest impact on the environment. In order for this journey towards a sustainable future to be successful, the entire supply chain must commit to working together.
Giacomo Canali, packaging research and sustainability manager at Barilla, discusses the approach brand owners are taking towards sustainability during his presentation at Specialty Papers Europe, April 9-10, 2019 in Berlin, Germany. In an exclusive interview with Smithers-Pira, Giacomo shares his insight into current trends in the specialty papers sector and the growing use of paper-based materials as an alternative to plastic packaging. He also highlights the importance of attending Specialty Papers Europe 2019 stating, "It’s the best place to put together demand and offer, to understand the needs of users, and to find out which innovations are coming to the market."
