Paper Packaging and Paperboard is the new bilingual book of the Better Packaging Better World collection launched in 2014 by the Instituto de Embalagens. It is a technical publication, but easy to read and that reaches the entire public in the sector’s chain.
‘The work allows the mastery of the concepts of paper and paperboard packaging and its use as an important instrument to increase the company in the sector’, emphasizes Assunta Napolitano Camilo, director of the Packaging Institute.
Written by many hands, the 20th work of the Packaging Institute is divided into four units: Universe of Paper and Paperboard Packaging, Materials and Packaging, Processes and Packaging and Sustainability. It is illustrated with many application examples that make the content easier to understand.
What is happening around the world in the paper and paperboard packaging sector? Research at international fairs and visits to supermarket shelves in different countries turned into rich content for the chapters on Innovations and Trends authored by Assunta Napolitano Camilo, director of the Packaging Institute. ‘
Visiting shelves from other segments or even other sales points is always an excellent alternative to have different ideas for packaging the products’, she highlights.
The last unit presents the theme of sustainability, which today is more than a choice, it is a need for companies that aim at the perpetuity of their business and the planet.
The development of packaging from the perspective of the circular economy is a reality in the paper and paperboard sector. ‘The paper and paperboard industry, especially in Brazil, maintains important sustainability actions. The sector produces its products from planted forests, which play a fundamental role in mitigating climate change by removing and storing carbon’, says Assunta.
