"With the environmental problems posed by packaging waste now regularly in the news, the arrival of a book that puts packaging into a wider supply chain context is very welcome and timely. Henrik Pålsson, one of the main international specialists in the field of packaging logistics, has provided us with a comprehensive, well-researched and clearly written overview of the subject that should be widely read across the academic and practitioner communities."

Alan Mckinnon, Professor of Logistics, Kuhne Logistics University

"This is a fascinating must-read for not just everyone working with packaging, but absolutely everyone in logistics and supply chain management, from raw material suppliers to wholesalers, retailers, and logistics service providers - and even consumers. Unlike other books in this area, there is no gap but an integration and reconciliation of marketing and supply chain efforts when considering packaging. It is a successful combination of a pragmatic, reader-friendly introduction to packaging logistics spiced with insights from the author's own cutting-edge research."
