We congratulate all our students who represented our industry on the international stage as part of the Pro Carton Young Designers Award!

Artificial Intelligence and Design: In an inspiring presentation titled “Artificial Intelligence and Design”—which brings together technology, aesthetics, and sustainability—Dr. Orhan Irmak offered valuable insights into the future of packaging design and the professionals working in this field.

Sustainability & PPWR Roadmap: Following an introductory presentation by the event sponsor, Türk Henkel, Maresa Zimmermann—Senior Manager for Sustainability and Circularity at Henkel—discussed the global packaging roadmap, sustainability goals, and the impact of the circular economy on our industry, with a particular focus on the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).

Günlük yaşamda kullandığımız pek çok ürünün arkasındaki güç olan Henkel, hayatımızın her alanına dokunmaya devam ediyor. Karton ambalaja yönelik güvenilir tutkal tedarikçimiz olan bu güçlü global marka ile uzun yıllardır süregelen iş birliğimizden büyük memnuniyet duyuyoruz.

At Lithosan, we continue to support the development of the packaging industry with a focus on the green transition, the circular economy, and innovative technologies. 🌱
