Raymond James has partnered with Stax, a global consulting strategy firm, for this edition of Packaging Insights.


Across the US, recycling rates have stalled due to a lack of innovation and improvement throughout the lifecycle. While certain areas, such as plastics, have seen modest improvements from regulations and technologies, materials such as aluminum and paper are struggling to keep up.
