V. (Industrial Association for Plastic Packaging).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Georg Pescher has been committed to the interests of the plastics packaging industry in the IK for many years - in particular <strong>in the PET Beverage Bottles forum.<\/strong> The technical health engineer has worked for the Alpla Group for 15 years, initially as plant manager for ten years and for almost five years as managing director for Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. As IK President, Georg Pescher wants to promote a fair public perception of sustainable plastic packaging and balanced regulation in the interests of climate protection and resource conservation.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201eThe same rules for everyone must be the order of the day if European packaging regulation is to become a functioning component of the Green Deal and the EU internal market. Facts must count. The association and its 300 members can achieve a great deal by actively communicating, representing positions and, above all, opening their factory gates to politicians, the media and interested members of the public. The plastics packaging industry is a relevant factor in Germany as a business location and I want to help ensure that this remains the case in my new role.\u201c<\/p>\n<p><strong>Georg Pescher\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_95640\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-95640\" style=\"width: 764px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-95640 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IK-Praesidium-764x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Newly elected and confirmed in office: Vice President Christian Claes, President Georg Pescher and Treasurer Hans Bresele\" width=\"764\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IK-Praesidium-764x1024.jpg 764w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IK-Praesidium-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IK-Praesidium-768x1029.jpg 768w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IK-Praesidium.jpg 1119w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 764px) 100vw, 764px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-95640\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Newly elected and confirmed in office: Vice President Christian Claes,<br \/>President Georg Pescher and Treasurer Hans Bresele.
