Review of New Restrictions on Product Packaging and Labeling and Analysis of Impact on the Market

Desired outcome

The goal of the project is to conduct a complex review of new restrictions on product labeling and analyze their impact on the packaging and labeling market.

Initial Problem Description

We are an automotive industry company, producing car mats using injection molding, and our clients are top car manufacturers worldwide. It is our clients who inspire us to change and strive for new solutions in the spirit of zero waste. We want to meet their expectations. At the same time, we are aware that new restrictions may impact production processes, costs, and marketing strategies. Therefore, we believe it is necessary to conduct an analysis that will allow us to understand these changes and their impact on the packaging and labeling market, and thus enable us to choose optimal solutions.

Context

This project emerged within the framework of the European Green Deal, which includes regulations on packaging and labeling such as the Circular Economy Directive (CED) and the Single-Use Plastics Regulation (SPR). To make informed decisions, it is necessary to analyze these regulations and review new market solutions.

Connection to cross-cutting areas

- Industry 4.0: The development of new labeling methods may enhance automation depending on the chosen technologies.
- General Sustainability: Minimizing the environmental impact of packaging and labels seems crucial in the context of the product life cycle.
