Australian Institute of Packaging members will be able to access the upcoming IoPP webinar on 14 July for free.
The webinar, titled How to utilise advanced simulation for achieving sustainability goals, will be presented by Rob States, principal at Stress Engineering Service.
AIP said there is significant momentum in the packaging industry to provide sustainable solutions in packaging; consumers are demanding that companies address their concerns.
There are a handful of ways companies are moving forward to address the consumer sentiment, including using engineering tools to explore options to provide sustainable packaging solutions and meet the typical requirements of their packages.
The focus of this webinar is on how to utilise advanced simulation tools to provide a path forward for sustainability objectives.
States, the webinar presenter, has more than 20 years of experience working in plastics and packaging. He holds a BSC in Plastics Engineering and an MBA. He is listed as an inventor on multiple packaging patents for companies such as CHEP, BP, WD-40, and BD. States started his career in corporate packaging at Procter & Gamble, then went to Newell Brands as a senior engineer in Rubbermaid Home Products. He has worked in more than 200 manufacturing facilities over the past 16 years and completed hundreds of packaging projects. As a partner with Stress Engineering Services, his role is to guide the business by recognising the needs in the market and developing the appropriate services. His role revolves around four categories of services: new packaging development, equipment development, productivity projects, and failure remediation.
