Future packaging strategies: AI for a more circular bioeconomy

Abstract

The packaging industry is facing considerable pressure to transform: increasing and stricter environmental regulations, rising raw material prices and growing demands for sustainability along the entire value chain. AI – especially in combination with a more sustainable circular bioeconomy – offers decisive approaches for making material cycles more efficient, conserving resources and optimising processes. This article outlines how AI can specifically accelerate the transformation of the packaging industry towards a more sustainable, circular bioeconomy and what opportunities this presents for companies and the environment
