“I think we are getting more and more conscious of the environment and not producing too much waste, so I would hope to see more packaging that is either re-fillable, biodegradable or made from recycled materials. In regards to aesthetics it is harder to stand out, so I think design will play a more important role for the FMCG industry...

Boér Sebestyén — Sfântu Gheorghe, Romania

I believe that re-usable materials will take over, and plastic (hopefully) will almost completely disappear.
