Huhtamaki & Emerald Technology Ventures invite start-ups and
experts at the forefront of packaging innovation to join forces in
driving circularity
HUHTAMÄKI OYJ PRESS RELEASE 27.11.2023 AT 10:00 EEST
Huhtamaki, global leader in sustainable packaging solutions,
will bring together the packaging industry, start-ups, experts and
investors at the joint Huhtamaki and Emerald Technology Ventures
workshop “The Future of Packaging: How to make packaging better,
smarter and more sustainable.” The innovation workshop will
be held on December 1, 2023, in Helsinki, Finland at Slush 2023,
the world’s leading event for growth companies. More than 100
participants at the forefront of packaging innovation from across
the world will join forces and work together to solve packaging
circularity.
“Packaging plays an essential role in
securing accessibility, safety, hygiene, and affordability of food
and everyday necessities for people around the world. The value of
packaging is high, for instance, in helping to solve the problem of
food waste that contributes 10 percent of global greenhouse gas
emissions. Recycling of packaging, a valuable resource, remains the
next big challenge that needs partnerships across the industry and
visionary start-ups to solve.”
“Huhtamaki continues to introduce
breakthrough innovation for packaging circularity, such as
technologies for high-barrier flexible mono-material structures,
high-precision fiber technologies for complex shapes, and
paperboard containers with re-pulpable coatings. We need to do more
together across the packaging life cycle to develop more
sustainable solutions and ensure the recycling of packaging,” says
Marina Madanat, Executive Vice President of Strategy and
Business Development at Huhtamaki.
Emerald Technology Ventures – a leader
in sustainable industrial technology venture capital – announced
the launch of a fund focused on sustainable packaging in April
2022. The fund, in which Huhtamaki participates, is one of the
first venture-backed investment vehicles targeting the financing of
innovations across the full packaging lifecycle.
“We are thrilled to be working with
Huhtamaki in the push to transform the packaging sector and excited
to meet promising start-ups in Helsinki. Our fund invests in
start-ups developing advanced material solutions and digital
technologies supporting corporates from the entire packaging value
circle – raw material producers, converters, FMCG players,
retailers as well as waste management companies and recyclers. Our
aim is to help solve the largest sustainability challenges in
packaging for global players across industries," says Gina
Domanig, Emerald Managing Partner.
“Systems thinking and acting across
packaging life cycle is key to solving for packaging circularity.
By uniting our strength as a global leader in sustainable
packaging, visionary startups, and dedicated funders, we have the
unique opportunity to drive breakthrough innovations for a more
sustainable future together,” says Marina Madanat.
