Latest Announcements by Industry Leaders
- In April 2025, according to Dr. Paul Neumann, New Business Development and Sustainability Polyamides Europe at BASF, chemical recycling can meet the requirements of the European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), as demonstrated by the use of recycled raw materials in the packaging. Ultramid cycled is used by SUDPACK to produce their thermoformed packaging because it is a mass-balanced drop-in product that can be easily incorporated into current production systems and procedures.
- Packaging that is recyclable and sustainable is a matter that is significant to us and will only grow in importance in the future.Frank Werz, Managing Director of Werz Wurst- Fleisch-Convenience GmbH, stated that the company is thrilled to have a partner in BASF Gastronomy with whom it can establish this product solution in the Horeca sector.

- In March 2025, in collaboration with the U.S. Plastics Pact and its network of over 120 companies, retailers, non-profits, governmental organizations, and academic institutions, Closed Loop Partners' Center for the Circular Economy published fresh data to aid in the continuous growth of reuse in the United States. Food, personal care, home care, and other high-priority product categories are among the five that are set up for the near-term adoption of reusable packaging, according to the report Getting Ready for Reuse in Retail: An Actionable Guide for Consumer Product Categories Most Likely to Succeed for Reuse in the U.S. This helps companies choose packaging formats that are most appropriate for reuse in order to reduce single-use waste.
