Project duration: 1 February 2019 to 31 January 2021

The Circular Economy Package first presented by the European Commission in July 2014 poses new challenges for the entire packaging industry. Products, processes and concepts must be designed in line with the new targets. The aim of the "Packaging Solutions in a Circular Economy" project is the targeted training of employees from the packaging-relevant and food-producing industry in order to strengthen domestic companies in their innovation performance with regard to the sustainable design of packaging systems in the sense of the circular economy.
This goal will be achieved through the planning, implementation and follow-up of a customised 22.5-day training measure accompanied by e-learning, in which the participants will learn about basic aspects of packaging technology, sustainability and circular economy, eco-design and innovation management, as well as development strategies for sustainable and novel packaging solutions and ways to develop new business models.

Once the project has been successfully completed, the entire training programme will be embedded in the FH Campus Wien course portfolio, ensuring the sustainable use of the developed training programme.
