The Noth American Market for industrial Packaging is changing rapidly at the moment and adapts to forms of packaging which are widely spread and dominate the markets in Europe and South America.

The main drivers of change are the move from buckets (wide mouth containers) to stackable jerry cans (tight mouth containers), the PFAS challenge for barrier packaging, recycling and sustainability, and finally, mergers and acquisitions which are consolidating the supply chain.

This presentation will not only list these topics, but also show how markets outside of North America went through transitions and handle current challenges, including an excellent example for recycling with a 95% recycling rate for agro-chemical containers in Brazil.
