Sheri sets the table with a preview of this week\u2019s guest and what listeners can expect: a mix of tech, packaging, and editorial insights from a leading voice in B2B publishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stephanie Neil discusses her recent coverage of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amcor.com\/products\/pet-care\/na?utm_term=sustainable%20pet%20food%20packaging&amp;utm_campaign=Petcare&amp;utm_source=adwords&amp;utm_medium=ppc&amp;hsa_acc=2636237093&amp;hsa_cam=20955872048&amp;hsa_grp=159552555964&amp;hsa_ad=688185934470&amp;hsa_src=g&amp;hsa_tgt=kwd-313582392623&amp;hsa_kw=sustainable%20pet%20food%20packaging&amp;hsa_mt=b&amp;hsa_net=adwords&amp;hsa_ver=3&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=20955872048&amp;gbraid=0AAAAABp2ipy77MZGHTSLChYYk7laxfk_n&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwndHEBhDVARIsAGh0g3D_vIu8y-gcyqUstZVQd6BbBajxj0GFAbgMJyFbeM0sTt_OoGsHaqsaAju3EALw_wcB\">Amcor<\/a>\u2019s work with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3ds.com\">Dassault Syst\u00e8mes<\/a> software \u2014 a sustainability-driven story that highlights the digital transformation underway in packaging. In a warm and witty moment, Stephanie dubs Sarah and Sheri the \u201cDowntime Divas,&#8221; quickly making herself at home as the trio dives into the Amcor case study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amcor\u2019s approach to sustainable packaging \u2014 an intersection of material innovation and digital design \u2014 becomes the episode\u2019s anchor point. The conversation then expands to include insights into how generative AI is shaping the future of 3D design, a shift that promises to accelerate how manufacturers prototype and evaluate sustainable products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stephanie also highlights how WTWH Media properties like Engineering.com are covering these evolutions, giving a nod to a recent piece about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engineering.com\/dassault-volkswagen-selects-3dexperience-platform-for-vehicle-development\/\">Dassault Syst\u00e8mes\u2019 partnership with Volkswagen<\/a>. Sarah takes a moment to shout out the broader WTWH portfolio, including&nbsp;<em>Design World<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Fluid Power World<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Engineering.com<\/em> \u2014 an editorial ecosystem that\u2019s keeping a pulse on industry change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The focus turns to flexible packaging, including the increasing popularity of pouches and what they mean for recyclability and shelf life. From there, the trio explores the rising role of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingoem.com\/2d-barcodes-scan-in-a-new-wave-of-digital-transformation-in-packaging\/\">2D barcodes in packaging design<\/a>, connecting smart labeling with consumer transparency and supply chain traceability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In one of the lighter moments, Stephanie shows off her Ohio State glass \u2014 just before the interview wraps, leaving listeners with a clearer picture of how digital tools are transforming the packaging world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheri continues the sustainability theme by sharing insights from&nbsp;Dave Duncan, vice president of sustainability with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptc.com\/en\">PTC<\/a>, with on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantengineering.com\/five-manufacturing-trends-to-accelerate-sustainability-progress\/\">broader trends affecting plants and facilities<\/a>, from energy optimization to smarter asset management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, the episode wraps with a game-time segment that brings laughs, friendly competition and a personal touch, before Sarah and Sheri close out the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re on the plant floor, designing for the future, or reporting on the changes, this episode is a reminder that sustainability isn\u2019t a buzzword \u2014 it\u2019s a multifaceted mission. And, as The Downtime Divas prove, it\u2019s one worth listening to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Downtime Episode 16 Timestamps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>00:19<\/strong> &#8211; Sarah
