Molded pulp seminar rescheduled

The Mequon, WI-based International Molded Pulp Environmental Packaging Assn. announced that it has rescheduled its 7th International Molded Pulp Seminar to Feb. 14 – 16, 2004, at the Hilton Garden Inn in Orlando, FL.

Jun 30, 2003

The event was originally scheduled Sept. 13 – 15, 2003, but was pushed back "due to travel concerns by several seminar speakers and the present advisories on health conditions and airport delays," according to an IMPEPA notice. IMPEPA is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion and use of virgin and recycled fibers for packaging.

Now that Mars files its own EPR reports as the obligated producer, its packaging specs ask suppliers what is in and not in, detailing every ink, coating, and adhesive. Mondi says mono-material swaps cost more at first, and Plug and Play says buyers won’t pay a sustainability premium for a less functional pack.
