The development is designed to close the link between producers and recyclers as well as aiding understanding of packaging circularity and futureproof packaging design.
Richard Kirkman, chief technology and innovation officer at Veolia UK and Ireland said: “We all know the impact of packaging on the environment, and the launch of our Sustainable Packaging Academy will further strengthen our work with manufacturers, industry bodies, and local authorities in the drive to ensure that it is all recyclable.
“If we are to deliver on the huge surge in public interest in our sector we must put the resources and waste strategy into practice in a way that can be understood by people inside, and outside, the industry.”
The Academy is aimed at anyone who is involved in packaging design, environment, supply chain or sustainability roles in key sectors such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and chemicals, retail or packaging manufacture.
