We talked with Johannes Bergmair, head of the Packaging institute at OFI, Austrian reserch institute and found out what are the latest trends in packaging research and testing and what should packaging business do to comply with EU legislation, namely Regulation (EC) 1935/2004. One of the most important OFI’s activities is education for Packaging Professional organized in cooperation with DVI (German packaging institute). Packaging Professional training consists of 12 modules which cover all relevant areas of the packaging supply chain.
