Adeline Farrelly (FEVE) presented the furnace for the future, which will help the glass industry in its green transi- tion. Talking about packaging, she added that the industry needs to maintain the core functionality of packaging in the most sustainable way. Piotr Barczak, (European Envi- ronmental Bureau), presented principles and positions de- veloped by NGOs to make packaging more sustainable. He insisted on the necessity to reduce overpackaging. In the last session, there was a lively debate on the im- portance of branding, single-use and reusable packaging. Industry speakers concluded that both options are need- ed and the choice must be made on a case-by-case ba- sis. The event was wrapped up by Jan Klingele, FEFCO Vice President, who concluded on a positive note about the resilience of the industry and the value of our prod- ucts to society. Eleni Despotou, FEFCO Director General, concluded that “Our key objective is to enable a favorable regulatory environment and a level playing field for mem- bers to operate. Furthermore, regulatory certainty and predictability are key to enable the industry to innovate and effectively drive through the transformation pathway of the Green Deal.’
