At DDL, our objective with this blog is to allow for far greater, far more meaningful conversations with clients, prospects, and industry friends like you than we had ever before thought possible.

Via comments left below, or thoughts shared with us later, we feel that we’ve helped build a forum where we can educate each other on what we truly care about – continued growth and development of the packaging industry.

Now, we’d like you to not only share what you think with us, but with a much larger audience.

Last month, I was happy to represent DDL at ISTA’s first annual International Transport Packaging Forum. While I was presenting” Laboratory Practices for Optimal Thermal Gel Design and Specification” DDL’s own Mike Woletz, Packaging Engineer and Project Manager, was attending multiple presentations, networking, and since the event was held at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, most likely having a little bit of fun.
It is my pleasure to introduce below a guest post from Mike Woletz sharing his thoughts on the first annual International Transport Packaging Forum:

Lately, we in the packaging industry have been thinking a lot about the concept of sustainability, particularly as it relates to package design.

The following, is the Message From the Chairman message I wrote for the most recent ASTM D10 Newsletter that helps clarify this issue and exactly what sustainability and sustainable packaging means, and will continue to mean, for our industry.

As a company, DDL looks at sustainability as vital not just to our industry, but to the world we are charged with improving for future generations.
