CEFLEX’s new testing programme to update its Design for a Circular Economy guidelines (D4ACE) can provide the flexible packaging sector with the data it needs to design more sustainable packaging, according to Dr Karlheinz Hausmann who develops packaging for Dow Europe.

"There are lot of design guidelines on the market, some of them are scientifically supported, others are not. The important thing for me is that this testing programme is backed by the biggest industry initiative for flexible packaging – CEFLEX, which represents over 180 companies and €1.3 trillion of business worldwide – while also providing maybe the first design guidelines that are very detailed and all of them are based on transparent scientific testing." he says
