The new edition of our digital magazine, Inside Packaging, is out now – you can read it online for free. Here are our top stories from this issue, which offers a deep dive into ESG [environmental, social and governance] and sustainability in packaging:

This month: a deep dive into ESG, what EPR regulations will mean for packaging businesses, Asia Pacific's recycling revolution, and more.

We explore how pioneering designs in sustainable packaging are addressing environmental issues while setting new benchmarks for innovation and efficiency in the industry, and find out how the UK’s new regulations under Extended Producer Responsibility will affect packaging businesses and what the key steps to compliance are.

We also look at flexible packaging, which is leading a quiet revolution in the retail sector, dramatically transforming how products are presented, protected and preserved, and explore the role of packaging in maintaining food quality – in particular, the science behind extending shelf life, preserving nutritional value and preventing food spoilage.

Plus we find out how the next generation of packaging innovations promises to revolutionise the industry with smart, environmentally conscious solutions, and hear about progress in plastic recycling and circular economy practices in the Asia Pacific region.

Supplement: ESG in packaging and consumer goods

We also have an entire supplement dedicated to ESG in this issue, where we investigate the latest driving forces in ESG, what packaging companies need to know about the shift to mandatory ESG reporting, and key net-zero strategies. Plus we explore a wide spectrum of environmental, social responsibility and corporate governance issues through expert interviews, analyst comment and in-depth analysis.
