Sustainability was not only one of the topics that could not be ignored at this year's interpack in Düsseldorf - for many years now, the industry has been looking at how packaging, production and the packaging process can become more sustainable.

Stefan Schulze-Hausmann, initiator of the German Sustainability Award, spoke to us live at the trade fair about trends in packaging and why problems and hopes crystallise in it.

The 16. German Sustainability Award will be awarded on 23 and 24 November 2023 in Düsseldorf. For the first time, 100 pioneers in sustainability will be honoured. packaging journal is the official media partner.
