Pack Point Nordic is an important forum for exchanging experiences, discussing current challenges and driving key issues forward within the packaging industry.

The EU's new rules for harmonised labelling of packaging are delayed. According to the European Commission's updated timetable, the rules are not expected to be ready until the second quarter of 2027. The delay means that the date when labelling will become mandatory can also be postponed.

This year, Pack for the Future in Oslo is being organized by Grønt Punkt Norge in collaboration with Näringslivets Producentansvar. The event aims to showcase existing solutions to packaging challenges and help producers prepare for upcoming requirements. Ingrid Öberg Månsson, a materials specialist, shares more details about the event.

NPA launched its new customer portal in mid-September. We wanted to find out how everything had gone, so we took the opportunity to ask Mikael Edenqvist, Head of Producer Onboarding & Services, a few questions.

Näringslivets Producentansvar has submitted comments on the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency’s proposal for revised compensation to municipalities for the collection of packaging waste. NPA is calling for more accurately targeted compensation for transfer stations and for the breakdown by material type to be retained for kerbside collection.

After just over three years as CEO of the Swedish Business Producer Responsibility (NPA), Helena Nylén is handing over the role to Karolina Hagberg Chinell.
