On the decline

GVM and the Ifeu Institute have prepared the "Packaging Monitor 2025" on behalf of the AGVU. According to the report, 17.9 million tonnes of packaging were produced in Germany in 2023. This corresponds to a decline of 1.1 tonnes (5.9 per cent) compared to the previous year. The decline was mainly observed in wood, PPK, plastics and other steel. The last time there was such a sharp decline was during the financial crisis in 2009. In addition, there has been a decline in packaging volumes for the second time in a row.
