California’s EPR packaging law (SB 54) is officially in effect and compliance timelines are moving quickly. Key deadlines are already here: • Registration with the Circular Action Alliance (CAA) • 2023 baseline packaging data submission • 2025 packaging supply data reporting by May 31 For many brands, the process is complex, data-intensive, and evolving rapidly. Berlin Packaging helps companies navigate regulatory requirements while balancing sustainability, performance, cost, and brand goals.

Thank you to Scott Jost, our Chief Innovation & Marketing Officer, for representing Berlin Packaging at the Kellogg Marketing Leadership Summit! Scott shared practical insights on how, when integrated into the earliest stages of product development and coordinated across functions, sustainability isn't a hindrance but a catalyst. His insights reinforced what we see every day at Berlin Packaging: marketing leaders are no longer just brand stewards — they are architects of enterprise value, helping organizations drive growth through smarter innovation and deeper customer partnership. Thank you to Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management for hosting this impactful forum and event.

Last week, members of the Berlin Packaging team took part in the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge in downtown Chicago — an annual corporate team event that brings together companies from across the area for a 3.5-mile run/walk near Grant Park. Open to everyone from casual walkers to elite runners, this year’s event welcomed more than 18,500 participants representing 500+ corporate teams. Beyond the race itself, the event also supports a meaningful cause each year through charitable contributions. This year’s beneficiary is the Association House of Chicago, an organization dedicated to serving local communities through programs focused on health, education, and workforce development. Thank you to all who participated and represented Berlin! #1Berlin

“Innovation” has become one of the most overused words in packaging. But what does it actually mean in practice? In this Q+A, Scott Jost, Chief Innovation Officer, cuts through the noise and shares a more grounded view of how innovation really happens inside packaging organizations. Not just new ideas. Not just new formats. But systems, processes, and decisions that actually move things forward. If your team is talking about innovation but struggling to execute it, this perspective is worth your time. Read the conversation >> https://hubs.li/Q04cfJp40 Sponsored by Berlin Packaging

A recent aviation incident has highlighted the growing safety concerns surrounding lithium-ion batteries and thermal runaway events. Last week, an IndiGo flight arriving in Chandigarh was evacuated after a passenger’s power bank caught fire while the aircraft was stationary after landing. Smoke quickly filled the cabin, emergency slides were deployed, and passengers were forced to evacuate as crew members worked to contain the fire. Fortunately, the incident was brought under control quickly. But situations like this are a reminder of how rapidly lithium battery failures can escalate, even in highly regulated environments like commercial aviation. As lithium-ion batteries become more common in everyday devices, from power banks and e-bikes to EVs and energy storage systems, awareness around battery safety, handling, and compliance remains critically important. At Dangerous Goods, we believe education is just as important as innovation. The industry has a responsibility to improve understanding of thermal runaway risks and ensure safer transport and storage practices across the battery lifecycle. That is why we continue to support the market with solutions like BUNCKER®, designed to help contain thermal runaway incidents and improve safety when transporting or storing damaged, defective, or unstable lithium batteries. Battery safety is not just a regulatory issue. It is a public safety issue.
