Title: The Future of Sustainable Packaging: Enabling the Circular Economy
Description:
Driving the Circular Economy through Innovative Packaging Design and Development The plastics industry is critical to delivering on the essential needs of the global population. Plastics are designed to preserve and protect, whether that be medical devices, food packaging or beverage bottles. This also applies to items you use in your everyday life, like your toothbrush, your phone or even the glasses you wear. During this insightful presentation, you’ll learn:
We are here because we are part of an industry that develops solutions, using plastics, that deliver on the essential needs of the global community. We have a common goal and interest in mind, and this is to preserve and protect an industry that delivers every day, essential solutions that the world not just wants, but needs. But now we see our industry at a critical point. We are under intense scrutiny, with some groups suggesting the complete elimination of plastics and our industry, which is simply unrealistic. How do we respond? As a collective industry and key drivers of economies around the world, we have a responsibility to keep plastics out of the environment and in the economy. We have an obligation to continue advancing our contribution to sustainability and circularity, and the solutions are here and now.
Join us as we examine the technologies, solutions and services that have been engineered to work together to enable your sustainability goals, regardless of where you are in your journey, including:
- Building the “Iconic” Package – from the preform, to bottle, to closure, learn how to design and develop the ultimate circular package.
