In a first for our industry, the Australian Institute of Packaging’s Australasian Packaging Conference took place on an all-new live platform in October. What emerged was evidence of an industry united in its collective purpose: to step up to the challenge of creating more sustainable packaging and meeting the 2025 National Packaging Targets.

Understanding human decision-making and the interventions that can be made to convert customers, as well as sustainability, passion and purpose for packaging, led the virtual discussion at the 2020 Women in Packaging forum during the conference.

During the conference, several AIP partners presented their newest products and projects. From sustainable pumps to new printing technology and sustainable innovation, there is something to pique anyone’s interest.
