Portuguese innovation gives riseto sustainable packaging solutions

Together, we drive innovation and sustainability towards the most demanding markets, positioning Portugal as a global benchmark in the packaging sector.

A collective
project
with global
impact

SustainablePackPT is an initiative that brings together small and medium-sized enterprises, organisations and regions around a common goal: showcasing the excellence of Portuguese packaging at an international level.

Promoted by NERLEI CCI – Business Association of the Leiria Region/Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in partnership with AEB CCI – Braga Business Association/Chamber of Commerce, the project supports the internationalisation of the sector, driving SMEs in eight strategic markets. Its focus is clear: to increase the competitiveness and visibility of Portuguese packaging, strengthen exports and ensure a solid presence in increasingly demanding global value chains.

Target markets

Global impact

We operate in countries that lead the way in innovation, sustainability and clean technology. It is in this context that we position Portuguese packaging as a partner of excellence, fully able to meet the highest environmental and technical standards. From paper to cork, from glass to light metals, Portugal has it all and does it better.
