    What does material innovation mean in the packaging sector?<\/h3>\n\n

    Material innovation describes the development of new or optimized packaging materials that combine ecological, functional and aesthetic requirements.The focus is on topics such as recyclability, bio-based raw materials, material reduction, but also intelligent packaging that actively communicates with consumers or supply chains.<\/p>\n\n

    For brands in the food and beverage sector, this means thatmaterial decisions are now strategic design decisions – they influence the carbon footprint, brand image, supply chain and purchasing decisions in equal measure.<\/p>\n\n
