Rethinking Packaging for future E-Commerce Supply Chains

Michel Heck
Innovation Manager
DHL

Packaging is fundamental to the logistics industry. It makes products safer and easier to handle, and protects them during storage, transport, and delivery. Modern packaging is so ubiquitous that it is easy to forget just how remarkable it is. Centuries of innovation and refinement have produced packaging technologies that deliver high performance in a bewildering range of applications and at extremely low cost. Yet there is growing evidence that today's approaches to packaging are struggling to meet the changing needs of companies, consumers, and the wider environment.

In this 60-minute interactive webcast, DHL Innovation Manager, Michel Heck, will take an in-depth look at the trends and innovations that are driving change in packaging. The goal of this webinar is to improve your understanding of current packaging innovation and inspire you to consider new approaches to your own packaging challenges.
