Claudia Bierth

European Sustainability & Public Affairs Manager at Ball Beverage Packaging

Claudia is an international sustainability & Public Affairs manager and advocate for a circular economy with over 20 years of experience providing expert knowledge in sustainability, recycling, stakeholder engagement and strategic communications in Germany, North America, and India for large multinational corporations, non-profits, SMEs and the public sector. At Ball Beverage Packaging Europe she is responsible for leading and managing the company’s European environmental affairs in Brussels as well as sustainability and Public Affairs in Central Europe.

To achieve a true circular economy, recycling rates need to be complemented by packaging materials and design that are made for circularity – in an infinite cycle.
