As a part of its commitment to the Asean region, the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) will be taking the Flexible Packaging: Now & Into the Future training course to ProPak Philippines, as well as three free packaging workshops.

All three workshops will be held on 6 February in partnership with the Philippines Institute of Packaging (PIP) and the World Packaging Organisation (WPO). Topics covered across the sessions include the journey towards sustainable packaging, the future of food packaging and the move towards a circular economy.

The workshop guest speakers includes professor Pierre Pienaar, WPO president; Ralph Moyle, AIP education coordinator; Paolo Bunag, PIP president; and Nerida Kelton, AIP executive director.

Each packaging workshop will also incorporate a panel discussion to enable open and interactive discussions with the attendees. Register your interest for the packaging workshops here:  https://www.propakphilippines.com/ppkp/2020/en/aip_pip.asp
