Corona Virus Impact: “ The agenda has shifted from sustainability to endurance!”

The Packing Europe team keep industry followers updated on the news in the industry while most of us continue to work from home as the pandemic alarms are still red. During the Corona virus crisis, a shortage of cardboard and paperboard is reported due to decreased recycling collection rates. About the issue, David Nicklin, the managing director of the UK’s largest independent packaging supplier reported: “Manufacturers are working hard to meet customer demand but are inevitably starting to prioritize orders from critical sectors like food and drink, pharmaceuticals and medical technologies. These are hugely challenging circumstances but through collaborative working and innovation, packaging manufacturers have a pivotal role to play in ensuring critical goods and supplies continue to get where they are needed most.”
