A guide prepared by experts from the Association of Employers of the Packaging Industry and Packaging Products EKO-PAK and Osborne Clarke.
Running a business in the FMCG industry is becoming a bigger challenge every year. New obligations and prohibitions make it easier to make a mistake or oversight. This, in turn, may result in an image crisis or punishing the entrepreneur with severe penalties.
It is worth knowing what the future will bring and prepare for the upcoming challenges. Hence the idea for a guide for business entitled 8 key challenges for the FMCG sector in 2023, prepared by experts from the Association of Employers of the Packaging Industry and Packaging Products EKO-PAK and the Osborne Clarke law firm.
In the Guide, we have identified the eight most crucial challenges for the FMCG industry in 2023, resulting from the introduced or upcoming regulatory changes and market trends related to:
- necessary implementation of the SUP Directive and the Omnibus Directive
- greenwashing and its business consequences
- eco-design, deposit-refund system, recyclate collection and others.
The challenges we have identified will affect all entrepreneurs from the FMCG industry in 2023. Therefore, we encourage you to read the Guide, we hope that the content contained therein will familiarize you with the nature of these challenges and make their implementation at least a little easier.
