Final stop of the cycle & circle 2025 sustainability tour:
At Packaging Valley's Sustainability Day, Matthias Laux talks to Dr Marc Funk, Managing Director of the industry cluster, about the role of sustainability in packaging machine construction - today and in the future.

The central question is: Does the industry give the issue enough weight?
Dr Funk makes it clear: regulation, pressure from customers and responsibility towards the environment have long made sustainability a key driver of innovation - also for the 120 or so member companies in Packaging Valley.

In dialogue: Why events such as the Sustainability Day are important, what industry networks can achieve - and what competitive advantage German manufacturers can secure if they specifically combine efficiency, material savings and innovative strength.
