Member Since: 2006
Freelance Joanne Hunter began reporting on the packaging industry in 2000. She first covered the UK and Europe and moved to Brussels to specialise in the paper and board sector from forest to fibre and final product, and worked on communication projects for several European trade bodies.
IPPO membership has since turned a personal interest in Japan into an opportunity to focus on the influential Japanese packaging market, and in 2019 this led to her first professional visit to Buenos Aires and insights into Argentina’s packaging culture.
Joanne reports on the packaging circular economy, issues including EU and national policymaking, and related technologies and business models. The challenges that different countries face and local plans and strategies to improve the environmental outcomes of packaging, are important topics she believes are worthy of wide coverage, to spread good practice and multiply the benefits for the planet.
