In our fast-changing world, it is not always easy to keep pace with the day -to-day challenges that we must face. Not least, the fallout from the dreadful and barbaric war in Ukraine, with all its ramifications affecting global inflation levels and supply chain uncertainty.
However, I know that I have said this before, but from the view I see from my desk, it never fails to surprise me, just how resilient and resourceful packaging companies are in times of such hardship. Everyone here at SPN is both encouraged and pleased to see this, and the fact that it has not deterred companies from taking even greater strides in their efforts to achieve their sustainability goals, is quite amazing. So fortunately for us all, the Packaging industry is continuing to succeed more than most in effecting the changes that must take place, in order for us to tackle climate change and create a truly circular economy for the world we live in.
Today, with interpack 2023 upon us, there are countless examples of fresh, innovative thinking, as well as cutting-edge technology being showcased. In fact, some of the most exciting and gamechanging advances are featured here in this special SPN interpack issue. For example, Unilever’s Hellmann’s sauces have designed a label that visibly changes completely, to show whether a product remains fresh. This alone can transform the world’s levels of food waste. Furthermore, there is also a most helpful global overview from KPMG, on how best to deal with - and overcome, the latest supply chain challenges. Naturally, there is also a lot of focus on interpack, with our broad coverage of a wide range of companies and their innovative products.
So, once again, I thank you all so much for your valued editorial contributions and for your support in helping us to achieve our vitally important sustainability goals. In the meantime, enjoy interpack and all it has to offer, whilst maintaining your infectious positivity!
