Abstract

Flexible packaging has been playing a crucial role in all industries, food industry in particular, and it has taken on even more significance in the times of the pandemic. The European Commission is trying to additionally support and endorse this industry's benefits. In the following years, the focus is directed towards the recyclability of the flexible packaging, therein fostering a more circular economy. Flexible packaging market participants have been working intensively on advancing the manufacturing processes. Some European countries have already developed sustainable methods for flexible packaging recycling, and new technologies should enable others to join in on this endeavour. It is the recyclability of the flexible packaging that ensures the path towards a sustainable product. The challenge is the lack of or vague regulations, which makes progress and eco-friendly policies difficult. This industry faces further investments in research and development and in new materials and machinery to meet the requirements of sustainable production.
