Hot Topic Eco Design – More Than Just Recycling Capability?
The Round Table Eco Design and the IK Industrievereinigung Kunststoffverpackungen are driving Eco Design in plastic packaging forward and invite interested parties to the open Forum Eco Design on May 5, 2017, at the interpack trade fair in Düsseldorf.
The response to the question "What constitutes Eco Design?" is often "good recycling capability." For the members of the Round Table Eco Design, this doesn't go far enough. They are working on a set of comprehensive, practical guidelines, aimed at helping to improve the environmental characteristics of plastic packaging further. At the same time, as a hot topic in plastic packaging, Eco Design needs to receive more attention in the sector and in the public perception.
