eng COLLABORATION IN ENHANCING THE SUSTAINABILITY OF PACKAGING FOR CONSUMER CHEMICAL PRODUCT Industrial enterprises, including those in the chemical industry, undertake various activities to enhance the sustainability of their operations. One area they focus on is packaging. Sustainability of packaging is improved through various means, such as changing packaging materials, shapes, or designs, as well as managing packaging inventory and replenishment methods. While these changes in packaging can be pursued independently, enhancing the efficiency of proposed changes is achievable through collaboration with stakeholders of the company, particularly packaging suppliers. Collaboration can be developed both at a strategic level, involving packaging design, and in the current procurement of packaging. This article explores the forms of collaboration currently practiced in both of these areas, specifically in relation to packaging for consumer chemical products. The article presents the results of qualitative research conducted in companies purchasing packaging for their own products, specifically consumer chemical products. The research was carried out through personal interviews based on a predefined questioning scenario. The study examined trends influencing packaging management, the packaging design process, as well as the forms, methods, and approaches used in packaging inventory replenishment. The article presents the findings of the qualitative research, focusing on the current forms and methods of collaboration between companies and their suppliers, both at the strategic and tactical-operational levels. The research results are compared with theoretical insights in this field, than areas of collaboration issues are identified and recommendations for improvement are proposed. The research findings, conclusions drawn, and recommendations provided in the article can contribute to the enhancement of sustainable packaging for consumer chemical products.
