In the latest episode of the VdA Podcast, entitled ‘A new life for packaging?’, Catarina Pinto Correia and João Almeida Filipe analyse the future of packaging in the ESG context, exploring the trends and innovations that are transforming this sector.

In this episode, VdA's lawyers discuss the impact of new European and national regulations on packaging and packaging waste, highlighting European Regulation 2025/40, which will apply in the Member States from August 2026. Also covered are recent national legislative changes, including the UNILEX regime, and how these changes affect companies and markets.

The debate is part of the growing concern for sustainability and the decarbonisation of the economy, in line with the European Climate Law and the National Climate Law.
