Coronavirus vaccines optimally packaged

The race is on – the first coronavirus vaccines have been delivered and are being deployed. And additional batches follow each week. What is likely to be the largest vaccination campaign ever seen in history is set to launch around the world in the next few months. Despite the current political controversy about the low number of vaccine doses and the slow pace of vaccination – which it is hoped are just teething troubles – the project is also a mammoth logistical task.

Ban on plastic packaging slows down innovation

In an interview in "Die Welt" the new EU Commissioner for Environment, Virginijus Sinkevicius, thinks aloud about a general ban on plastic packaging in Europe. The IK Industrievereinigung Kunststoffverpackungen considers this idea to be counterproductive and calls on the EU Commissioner to do more to ensure that plastic packaging in Europe does not end up in landfills but is recycled.
