This role combines expertise in data analytics with knowledge of sustainable packaging and environmental impact assessment.

As part of various eco-modulation efforts, CAA advances eco-modulation initiatives by designing and implementing bonus and incentive/malus schemes that encourage producers to adopt more environmentally friendly packaging solutions.

This approach motivates producers to innovate and improve the ecological performance of their products, aligning industry practices with broader sustainability goals.
