EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulations. Clearly unclear.
20 Nov 2024
The European automotive industry fully supports the introduction of more sustainable practices to minimise the negative environmental impacts of non-optimised packaging and non-recyclable packaging waste. At the moment, however, the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulations (PPWR) present the industry with an unclear roadmap which is hampering our collaborative efforts to develop solutions which are both efficient and legal. We therefore continue our attempts to influence the law makers to modify certain aspects of the legislation to make it more readily applicable to automotive packaging practices.

Odette and AI
03 Jul 2024
AI mania has infected virtually everyone in the past 18 months and will surely continue to do so for the foreseeable future. It certainly has the potential to take over many of our administrative tasks but what will be its impact on supply chain operations? We have seen other technologies looking for a problem to solve, come and go, but this one seems here to stay and Odette has also embarked on the AI journey.
Our Standards
Odette develops standards which help automotive industry companies overcome the constant challenges arising in their supply chain operations.
The great strength of our standards is that they are created by people who are the experts in their field and know the real needs of the companies they represent. They are regularly reviewed to ensure that they remain relevant in the ever-evolving automotive world and new ones are developed to meet fresh challenges as they arise.
We know, however, that the value of standards lies in wide-scale adoption, so we make them freely available to the whole community.
