„Everything demonised and everything positive is crystallised in the packaging.“

Since 2008, the pioneers of the industry have received the German Sustainability Award. An interview with initiator Stefan Schulze-Hausmann on the 16th award.

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. Since 2008, the industry's pioneers have been honoured with the German Sustainability Award. 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.

Year after year, Stefan Schulze-Hausmann also brings well-known personalities to the stage and thus attracts even more attention. In 2022, Prince Albert II of Monaco was honoured with the award.
