Abstract

This paper focuses on the packaging sector in the Greek logistics market. It seeks to
evaluate in the broader sense the packaging operations and the potential problems such
as barriers that a number of local laws, based on the European Packaging Directive
94/62/EC, might be generated in the individual markets. More specifically, the Greek
market is a special field, where the effects caused by a number of measures formulated
by the European Union, generate discrepancies compared to other member states, partly
due to the geographical position of Greece and the distance from the central European
market.
This paper also includes an investigation of a specific paper packaging supply chain,
where paper packaging acts as a significant factor for the individual companies that
participate within it
