OMP’s Green Planning: your solution to a more sustainable packaging industry We all must do our share to save the planet. How can the packaging industry stay at the forefront?

Packaging companies need to invest in new and more sustainable products and processes. They need to produce even more efficiently, with a lower footprint and less waste. The whole industry must embrace circularity principles, reusing and recycling resources. Promises are being made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet ESG targets.
