It has been a long journey from the publication of EU Directive 2019/904 to today. There are only a few days left before the principles of the Directive officially become part of our daily lives as consumers of beverage products.

The industry as a whole has faced many challenges and has shown a unique ability to put into question all recent achievements and results. Tireless efforts are now leading to results that combine respect of the norm, solution functionality and consumer experience.
Wisecap® and SACMI will take you through the various stages of this joint journey, focusing on product and technology advances. A kind of day-by-day journey, highlighting how things do not come for free, how the impact on the supply chain has always been in focus, trying to minimise it as much as possible.

Other events are somehow linked to or driven by this revolution. Education is revolution: only proper education of the end user will support this revolution in the packaging market and make it even more effective! New neck finishes are coming to market at an unprecedented speed, and further strength is given to activities  such as DRS and bottle-to-bottle.

What's next? Will we see more and more countries adopting tethered caps? Will consumers help push tethered concepts even further? Wisecap® and SACMI will try to answer these and other questions in their presentation.
