The AIP will visit Perth at the end of this month for a training course, a site visit to Cleanaway, and the WA Food and Beverage Packaging Forum.
The Tools to Help You Meet the 2025 National Packaging Targets: PREP and ARL training course will be held on 29 October, and is designed to assist companies in the transition to 100 per cent reusable, recyclable, or compostable packaging by 2025, says Nerida Kelton, executive director AIP.
“This training course will enable participants to gain a better understanding of how using PREP and applying the ARL can help your business to meet the 2025 National Packaging Targets. The course will also enable participants to have a better and more realistic view of what packaging is truly recyclable and being recycled in Australia.
“Understanding these tools will enable agencies and marketers to provide verifiable and consistent recyclability information to their consumers,” she said.
The course will include a site visit to Cleanaway’s Perth plant.
AIP will also participate in the WA Food and Beverage Packaging Forum on 30 October.
“Presented by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development in partnership with the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) and the Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology (AIFST), this forum will bring you up to speed with the latest in packaging design to impact sustainability, food safety and shelf life extension.
“With an expo showcasing local packaging suppliers, attendees will be given the opportunity to bring their own packaging and book in a brief 1:1 consultation session with a packaging expert,” said Kelton.
AIP members receive a discount to attend.
