Circular Economy Study To Be Released
Engineered Better Anilox Sleeves Crafted Specifically For Your Budget, Your Press, Your Job.
The Circular Economy Initiative Deutschland, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the participating companies, brings together econom- ic, scientific and societal stakeholders. The initiative aims to develop joint targets and a con- crete plan to achieve a Circular Economy in Germany. Within the CEID, three pertinent areas of study were identified for further research: Circular Business Mod- els, Circular Batteries, and Circular Packaging. For each of the aforementioned areas, a working group consist- ing of representatives from industry, academia and civ- il society was established. Each working group investigated the potential of the Circular Economy for their relevant topic and com- piled the results in a report. These findings will in turn be integrated into a com- prehensive roadmap toward a Circular Economy in Germany,which will be published in Spring.The work- ing group on packaging consists of 21 member organi- zations, covering the entire value chain of packaging. Target Vision Over 15 months, the working group developed a tar- get vision for circular packaging in Germany and es- tablished a proposed roadmap to achieve this vision. The final report describes which necessary bound- ary conditions need to be established for a Circular Economy in packaging to work, identifies existing bar- riers, describes circularity levers and outlines a list of 42 measures that need to be implemented by different stakeholders to achieve the target vision. “The Circular Economy Initiative Germany con- firmed the importance of cross-value-chain collabora- tion.Having representatives from the entire packaging value chain around the table created a comprehen- sive and systemic view of our industry,” said Dr. Ralph Detsch, chief technology officer at Siegwerk. “This is the only way to successfully manage this transforma- tion of the packaging market and to address circular economy as an opportunity space.” The report will be presented to the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and can be utilized to inform future policy-making processes. LMI Packaging Partnership With APR LMI Packaging, Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, recently teamed with All Printing Resources (APR). The part- nership will provide LMI with access to MacDermid’s range of flexo plates.
