May 10 , 2021 The World Packaging Organisation (WPO) has announced the creation of a database that will contain global data related to the packaging industry such as regulations, safety, technology, and sustainability. “We have decided to take a step-by-step approach to collect important global packaging information. This is a project we have had on our agenda for a number of years but always lacked the resources”, states WPO President, Pierre Pienaar. “But thanks to WPO longstanding Chinese Board members, CPF (China Packaging Federation) and CEPI (China National Export Commodities Packaging Research Institute), we decided to join forces and offered to undertake such a venture along with the guidance of the WPO Executive team.”
