Martin Schröder, Managing Director of the Professional Association for Liquid Food Carton Packaging (FKN), explains the environmental benefits of beverage cartons compared to other types of packaging. In this interview, he discusses the criticism levelled at the Packaging Law Implementation Act, particularly regarding the excessive 70 per cent reusable quota in Germany compared to just 10 per cent across the EU. Schröder backs up his claims with figures: beverage cartons reduce CO2 emissions by 78 per cent compared to single-use glass and are over 90 per cent recyclable. He calls for evidence-based policy and warns of the current recycling crisis, which is jeopardising the recycled materials market. The FKN is represented at interpack for the first time. #interpack #beverage carton #packaging law #recycling #sustainability #FKN #PPWR #circular economy
