The single-use dilemma

The switch from plastic to environmentally friendly materials is a complex challenge – particularly in the area of single-use items – and is not necessarily solved by one solution. In this podcast, we look at the differing views on single-use and multi-use, with a special focus on food service items, such as paper cups. How should brand owners think about how to serve food and beverage in coffee shops and quick-service restaurants? And can consumers continue to use takeaway cups with good conscience? At the heart of the discussion is the recent Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study by the European Paper Packaging Association (EPPA) on the topic of Single Use vs Multiple Use. Guesting the pod are: Emiliano Micalizio, Principal and Operation Manager, Ramboll, Veronika Abraham, Senior Consultant Sustainability, Ramboll, Antonio D'Amato, CEO of Seda International Packaging Group, and Maria Holopainen, Business Lead on Circular Economy, Packaging Materials, Stora Enso.
