Packaging in general term is the science, art and technology of enclosing or protecting products in a way that it reaches the consumer in its original form when manufactured. So, the basic function of packaging is to protect and ensure the identity and integrity of a product throughout its shelf life.

The ocean plastic crisis is real. It requires consumers’, brands’, and humanity’s attention. Today, only around 10% of plastic waste gets recycled globally, while the rest ends up in landfills, incineration, or leaks to nature or oceans*. The world desperately needs more ways to reuse post-consumer plastic waste.
Compostable packaging is popularly seen as an answer to plastic pollution, but while it has a role to play in a circular economy, it is not a silver bullet. Any time a piece of packaging is used once – no matter how it is disposed of – it is single-use. Preventing waste in the first place should be top priority.

Thanks to a longstanding experience in recycling and a flourishing technology sector, the Business Head at the knowledge sharing platform Packaging 360 is convinced that the country’s packaging value chain stakeholders will make major advances in the coming years.
Grasping complexity and acting proactively on sustainability is key to ensure successful compliance with packaging laws and avoid financial sanctions.
