Some of the biggest players in the global packaging industry announced on Wednesday the establishment of a fund focussing on sustainable packaging. Founding investors in the fund, which is managed by the Swiss capital company Emerald Technology Ventures, include Beiersdorf and Henkel.<\/strong><\/p>

In view of the fact that rapid growth is expected in the global packaging sector and the focus is on reducing waste and greenhouse gas emissions, the fund aims to achieve this, according to the capital company, to drive forward the development of advanced materials and industrial technologies that both benefit the environment and generate attractive returns.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
