About the webinar
Sustainability is rapidly becoming a strategic business driver for the packaging industry. As regulations such as PPWR, Digital Product Passports, EPR schemes, and Scope 3 reporting requirements evolve, organizations need more than compliance—they need actionable sustainability intelligence embedded directly into their packaging and specification management processes.
In this webinar, Esko, together with Recyda and CarbonQuota, will explore how brands and packaging stakeholders can transform disconnected sustainability data into a competitive advantage.
The discussion will examine how recyclability assessments, carbon footprint insights, and structured packaging data can be integrated into everyday workflows to accelerate decision-making, reduce compliance risk, strengthen collaboration, and support faster innovation.
Attendees will learn how connected technologies enable organizations to proactively evaluate packaging portfolios against upcoming PPWR recyclability grades, helping identify materials at risk of falling below Grade C before they face potential market exclusion.
The session will provide practical guidance on building a more agile, data-driven packaging operation that not only meets regulatory requirements but also unlocks efficiency, supports sustainability goals, and creates long-term business value.
