One of the most important functions of packaging will be increased sustainability. This push towards sustainable practices for packaging and a circular economy will be a key influencer, focal point and primary benchmark for the entire packaging supply chain.
To address these future sustainability requirements, Smithers Pira has created Sustainability in Packaging Europe - the only European packaging event designed to offer a 360 perspective on the key challenges and solutions the supply chain are faced with to evolve towards a circular economy. Companies confirmed to speak at the 2019 event will include Britvic, Tesco, Mars, The Coca-Cola Company, Nestlé, Ellen MacArthur Foundation, P&G, SUEZ, Danone and many more soon to be announced.

- Value chain sustainability: collaboration the key to success
- Packaging design; collection, sorting and recycling
- New technologies and approaches, packaging material innovations - Fibre, plastics, paper, cardboard, metal, glass
Delegates to the conference also have the chance to attend two pre-conference workshops on Global Packaging EPR Developments or Bio-Based Packaging, taking place on Tuesday 12 November 2019.
