Sustainability Is Reshaping Equipment Requirements Across the Packaging and Processing Industry

A recent report from PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, shows how sustainability initiatives are changing the relationship between consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The report—called “The Ripple Effect: CPG Sustainability and the New OEM Spec Sheet“—finds that sustainability influences equipment design, material selection, operational requirements, and supplier expectations throughout the packaging and processing supply chain. The study found that 82% of end users actively engage in sustainability initiatives, while 64% of OEMs say sustainability directly influences equipment design decisions. Additionally, more than half of end users report that limitations in packaging machinery are preventing them from achieving their sustainability goals.
