This allows them to benefit from a more environmentally friendly image. <strong>They can also save costs, as intelligent containers can be used repeatedly for different parts.<\/strong><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/c-p-s.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.c-p-s.de<\/a><\/p><p><em>A guest article by Ingmar Wunderlich, Head of Logistics C-P-S Group and Kai Hofscheier, Senior Specialist Packaging Planning<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-exad-particle-enable=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4572439d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default exad-parallax-effect-no exad-background-color-change-no exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"4572439d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-533e4866 exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"533e4866\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2613354 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2613354\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">More news from the packaging and packaging materials sector<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3378c6ea elementor-grid-3 elementor-grid-tablet-2 elementor-grid-mobile-1 elementor-posts--thumbnail-top elementor-posts__hover-gradient exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-posts\" data-id=\"3378c6ea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;cards_row_gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:38,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;cards_columns&quot;:&quot;3&quot;,&quot;cards_columns_tablet&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;cards_columns_mobile&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;cards_row_gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;cards_row_gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"posts.cards\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-posts-container elementor-posts elementor-posts--skin-cards elementor-grid\" role=\"list\">\n\t\t\t\t<article class=\"elementor-post elementor-grid-item post-116205 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail category-maerkte tag-markt tag-packmittel-und-packstoffe tag-verbraucherzentrale-hamburg tag-verpackung cs-entry cs-video-wrap\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__card\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-post__thumbnail__link\" href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/verpackungstaeuschung-gericht-staerkt-verbraucherrechte\/\" tabindex=\"-1\"><div class=\"elementor-post__thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/milka-300x163.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-106430\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/milka-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/milka-1024x555.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/milka-768x416.jpg 768w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/milka-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/milka.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-post__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/verpackungstaeuschung-gericht-staerkt-verbraucherrechte\/\">\n\t\t\t\tPackaging deception: Court strengthens consumer rights\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__excerpt\">\n\t\t\tThe Bremen Regional Court has ruled against Mondelez for misleading packaging on Milka chocolate bars.
