This is a webinar recap from Packaging Europe, hosted with Constantia Flexibles and Haleon. It looks at what pharmaceutical packaging companies should do after the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), beyond simply meeting the rules. Topics include circular design, low-carbon aluminum, renewable electricity in pharma plants, and carbon pricing as a decarbonization lever. The speakers are Agnieszka van Batavia from Constantia Flexibles and Ewa Utko from Haleon. The pitch is that collaboration across the value chain matters if packaging is going to move from compliance to actual emissions cuts. If you work in packaging procurement, sustainability, or pharma supply chains, the webinar is free and available on YouTube.

Webinar page for pharma packaging sustainability. Focus is on what comes after PPWR, with Constantia Flexibles and Haleon. Covers low-carbon aluminum, renewable electricity in plants, and carbon pricing. Worth watching if you track how regulated industries actually cut emissions.

Interesting that carbon pricing shows up in a packaging webinar. Most pharma sustainability talk stops at recyclability. This at least nods to energy input and materials. Would like to see numbers on low-carbon aluminum cost vs standard.

100% renewable electricity in pharma plants sounds good, but the article does not say how they source it. PPAs, bundled RECs, on-site solar? That distinction matters for real grid impact. Also low-carbon aluminum still depends on where smelters get power.
