In June, PRINTING United announced the decision to transition from an in-person event in Atlanta, Ga. to a comprehensive digital platform. The PRINTING United Digital Ex- perience, taking place Oct. 26 – Nov. 12, o ers attendees three weeks of live, guided programming, educational sessions, and panel discussions with the experts; along with access to a complete online exhibitor showcase featuring information about the newest industry technology, case studies, whitepapers, the chance to speak with exhibitor repre- sentatives, and more. Today is Day Eight of this 14-day event. Focused on the package printing market — spe- cifi cally the folding carton and corrugated segments — attendees have a packed sched- ule of content and product demos (see the detailed agenda on page 4). According to the Digital Printing for Folding Carton Converting study by PRINTING United Alliance and Keypoint Intelligence, the folding carton segment represents about $18 billion in annual print value in the U.S. and Canada. The Fibre Box Association reports that the U.S. corrugated packaging market represents about $35.2 billion in annual print value. For both of these markets, however, it is estimated that 99% of the products are printed via analog technologies. There is a signifi cant amount of opportunity for digital printing going forward.

Each year, we ask questions about various aspects of general packaging sustainability. Some questions are the same every year to give us a historical picture of where the industry is—and where it is shifting. But each year we also add new questions around the hot topics du jour. This year, we focused on plastic packaging sustainability because it has captured so much attention around the world from consumers, organizations and governments today. In this detailed report, we’ll first provide some context by talking about the current climate of plastic packaging.

    Circularity for Plastic Packaging

    Sustainable Packaging Systems Circularity design guide for plastic packaging Introduction Contents Packaging protects and preserves food and consumer goods products and gives a platform to inform the consumer about the product. Specifically, plastic packaging provides product durability, flexibility in design, hygiene and safety properties and can extend shelf life. However, following rising public concern about the rise in plastic waste, inconsistencies with collection and recycling facilities in the UK, and the increase of marine pollution, consumers are asking retailers and brands to minimise use and dependency on plastic.
