Industry Dive is launching Packaging Dive later this month

Industry Dive is launching a new newsletter called Packaging Dive later this month.

It’s the third new newsletter from the company for 2023.

Cole Rosengren, who has worked on Waste Dive since 2016, will serve as Packaging Dive’s lead editor. Packaging Dive editor Maria Rachal and reporter Katie Pyzyk will cover the industry by tracking regulations, M&A, ESG investments, commodity trends and other news.

“Whether faced with growing e-commerce demand or regulatory changes, the packaging sector is being pushed to innovate beyond the box,” Rosengren said in a statement. “We are eager to deliver original reporting and analysis covering the different layers of the growing packaging industry to help executives develop strategies around sustainability, sourcing, design, manufacturing and technology.”

Packaging Dive will look at cardboard, paper, plastics, metals, glass and other materials used to contain and deliver products around the world for industries, including food and beverage, and medical, among others.
