In recent years, however, plastic packaging has come under increasing pressure due to inadequate waste management in various regions of the world.<\/p>\n<p>Large quantities of plastic remain unused in landfill sites or even end up in the so-called <strong>\u201eLittering\u201c<\/strong> into the environment. Manufacturers and users are increasingly demanding \u201edesign for recycling\u201c in order to minimise plastic waste. <strong>permanently in the recycling loop<\/strong> to hold.<\/p>\n<p>However, the design of plastic packaging encompasses many more aspects, and so the requirements for recycling-friendly design must be harmonised and balanced with other important environmental aspects and core functions of the packaging.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201eWhile a number of guidelines and tools have already been developed in recent years for \u201edesign for recycling\u201c, this guide focuses on conveying a comprehensive understanding of eco design. At the same time, the existing tools are bundled together for the first time. With the underlying approaches, we can further improve the ecological profile of plastic packaging,\u201c says IK Managing Director Dr Isabell Schmidt.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23671\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23671\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23671 size-full\" title=\"Management Guide Eco Design for Plastic Packaging\" src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Management-Leitfaden-Eco-Design-Kunststoffverpackungen-400x566.png\" alt=\"Management Guide Eco Design for Plastic Packaging\" width=\"400\" height=\"566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Management-Leitfaden-Eco-Design-Kunststoffverpackungen-400x566.png 400w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Management-Leitfaden-Eco-Design-Kunststoffverpackungen-400x566-212x300.png 212w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23671\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Management Guide Eco Design for Plastic Packaging<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Download free of charge at: <a href=\"https:\/\/ecodesign-packaging.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.ecodesign-packaging.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Source: IK Industrievereinigung Kunststoffverpackungen e.V. <\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The \u201eManagement Guide Eco Design of Plastic Packaging\u201c has now been presented for the first time in Berlin.
