Why attend?

This webinar aims to empower you with knowledge on the different advanced sustainable packaging strategies from raw material reduction, to renewable resources, alternative mono-layer materials, bio-based plastics, as well as packs designed for recyclability, minimizing food waste, and improving plastic waste processing and recycling.

Sustainability has slowly but steadily been taking precedence globally as a key driver of change since the new Millennium. Over the past decade, however, sustainability has easily cemented itself as critical for the survival of organizations in any industry. It is no longer an issue of being environmentally conscious, but rather integrating sustainability into strategy and decision making, and using it to drive innovation and secure your social license to operate. In the packaging industry sustainability has come front and center with packaging under great scrutiny due to the impacts of its waste on the planet. With packaging essential in almost all industries, the focus has now shifted from operational efficiency to sustainable product innovation reducing material use, transitioning to renewable resources, reducing unnecessary packaging (single-use), designing products for recyclability, recycling technologies, and so forth.

Packaging Sustainability Fundamental to Sustain Business Long Term

Sustainability is not an afterthought. There are considerable risks threatening business continuity including resource and raw material availability which impacts costs and production, customer demand pushing for sustainable products, legislation, regulations, bans, and taxes in countries on non-sustainable products, and there is brand equity and reputation.

Be Empowered with Knowledge to Pave Your Sustainable Packaging Journey

This webinar presents you with the opportunity to take the lead in packaging sustainability.

Sustainability is now a steppingstone for economic development.
