Steel for Packaging Update
Issue #33, March 2024
APEAL_EU

Welcome!

In this issue, we're excited to introduce some key APEAL-team changes, including the appointment of a new Head of EU Affairs. Her arrival couldn't be timelier, given the latest PPWR developments, covered in our regular Brussels Inside column.

We also shine a spotlight on our newest campaign, emphasizing the crucial role steel cans play in combatting food waste without adding to packaging waste, contrary to some competing formats such as laminated cartons.

And we respond to some of the questions you might be asking about APEAL's Chrome-Free Passivation Alternative (CFPA).

Dive in and enjoy the read!
