Strong impulses and clear positions
In his welcoming speech, Interzero Managing Director Thomas Glatz emphasized: “Every day counts – our goal must be to keep resources in circulation and drastically reduce consumption.”
With a well-founded keynote speech, our packaging engineer Jonathan Scheck provided the foundation for the technical discussion: “The PPWR is part of the European Green Deal and will gradually become the mandatory basis for recyclable, resource-saving packaging solutions throughout the EU. Recyclability, recycled material requirements, single-use bans, and harmonized labeling requirements are among the core elements of the new regulation .”
The topic of eco-fee modulation – i.e. the adjustment of license fees to recyclability – was also a central part of the presentation.
Practical examples and voices from the business world
Participating companies such as Coca-Cola HBC Austria, Adamol, Brantner, Würth, and Austrian Post reported on their own packaging optimization measures and emphasized the need for joint solutions, particularly to support small and medium-sized enterprises. There was agreement that sustainable packaging can only succeed through close cooperation between business, politics, and consumers.
