PAC Machinery President Talks Sustainability on Industry Podcast
PAC Machinery President Talks Sustainability on Unpacked with PMMI
PAC Machinery President, Greg Berguig, recently joined the Unpacked with PMMI podcast to discuss one of the industry’s hottest topics: sustainable packaging. In the episode, Greg dives into the challenges of running new sustainable films on legacy equipment, the costs associated with switching from plastics to paper-based or compostable materials, and the important role collaboration plays across the supply chain.
He explains how marketing-driven sustainability goals often drive change, while operations teams are tasked with making it work on the production floor. From retrofitting existing machines to investing in new, material-agnostic equipment, Greg shares how companies can balance costs, productivity, and sustainability.
The conversation also touches on the influence of global regulations, brand mandates, and how multinational corporations are leading change to address packaging waste in both developed and developing markets. Greg emphasizes that true progress comes from open communication between material suppliers, OEMs, operations, and marketing teams.
