\u201ePackaging as a solution for the future? Packaging as a solution for the future!\u201c - Under this motto, the 13th German Packaging Congress will take place in Berlin from 22 - 23 March 2018. The focus will be on sustainability and digitalisation and their impact on the industry.<\/p>\n

Quo vadis packaging industry?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On the first day of the event, Prof Dr Michael H\u00fcther (Director of the Cologne Institute for Economic Research) will give an outlook on what lies ahead for companies in the sector with a contribution on the current economic situation and the future outlook - especially in times of protectionist tendencies.<\/p>\n

Packaging: \u201eVital or dispensable?\u201c<\/strong><\/h2>\n

How does it work: products without packaging? Where is and will packaging remain indispensable? And how can we combine less use of materials with greater flexibility and new added value in terms of functions? Milena Glimbovski (founder and Managing Director of Original Unverpackt GmbH), Dr Rolf Buschmann (BUND), Albert Klinkhammer (Group Marketing Director of the Mondi Group) and Stephan Karl (Managing Director of Tetra Pak) will address these questions in their presentations.<\/p>

Packaging as part of a sustainable strategy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

How can packaging be designed for recycling, from raw materials to production and disposal - and from implementation to market launch? What do customers and retailers expect, regionally and globally? And where does the product responsibility of companies lie? The contributions by Dr Bernhard Bauske (Senior Advisor Marine Litter Reduction at WWF Germany), J\u00fcrgen Dornheim (Section Head Package Capability at Procter & Gamble Service GmbH), Markus Korte (Managing Partner of Mar-Ko Fleischwaren GmbH & Co. KG) and Dr Thomas Maier-Eschenlohr, founder and Managing Director of Landpack GmbH, look at the topic of \u201ePackaging as a component of sustainable strategy\u201c from different perspectives.<\/p>\n

Digital Business Transformation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Digital change and packaging - how do they go together? This will be discussed in another thematic block. \u201eBringing your packaging to life!\u201c is the title of the presentation by Nikolaus Wolfram (SVP Head of Innovation & Marketing at Constantia Flexibles) and Thomas Schulz (VP Global Marketing at Constantia Flexibles). Digital packaging trends<\/strong> Thomas Reiner (dvi Chairman of the Board and CEO of Berndt+Partner) will be presenting the latest developments in the field of globalisation.<\/p>\n
