SCGP and industry leaders are addressing circular economy challenges in packaging by redesigning products to balance consumer demands (durability, safety, convenience) with recyclability. The article emphasizes that sustainable packaging requires innovation starting at design—reducing material use (Reduce), extending product life (Reuse), and enabling recycling (Recycle)—while complying with stricter EU and EPR regulations. Multi-material packaging is a key obstacle to circular systems, making design choices critical for real material recovery and avoiding greenwashing.
