Steel for Packaging Update
Issue #23, May 2020

Dear Readers,

In challenging times, it is even more important to reduce waste at every level, which is one focus of the new Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP 2.0) presented in March.

When it comes to recycling, steel packaging still leads the way, as our newly-released 2018 recycling figures for Europe clearly show.

And we’re looking forward to Interpack 2021, being present and demonstrating that there are alternatives to plastic packaging - available today.

Stay safe and in touch through LinkedIn, Instagram and Twitter.
Enjoy the read!
