Yay, another change in the law! Who is supposed to navigate through the jungle of provisions, ordinances and exemptions?

The amendment will take effect on 1 July 2022 and regulate the take-back and recycling of packaging put into circulation by companies.

Digital champions focus on traditional virtues and keep a close eye on their further development. A diverse marketing mix, i.e. all measures designed to achieve marketing goals, is one of these virtues. Product policy in the marketing mix describes which products and services a company wants to offer and how they appear on the market.
