The environmental impact of packaging has gained importance within the last few years. Many companies are actively developing ambitious targets and strategies, and are adopting a circular economy approach. Numerous initiatives have been taken up by packaging producers and brand owners to tackle the issue of waste and to find sustainable alternatives. Being innovative in developing long term solutions is essential to reducing industry’s carbon impact, especially through choice of materials.

This event will share updates on how brand owners are moving sustainable packaging forward within their companies and packaging material innovations that are environmentally friendly and reduce wastes.
