The AusIndustry Entrepreneurs’ Programme and the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP), in collaboration through the Sustainable Packaging SMART Project, will hold a webinar update to discuss The Future of Soft Plastics & Flexibles on 19 April.
The AIP says this webinar will provide an opportunity to hear from packaging experts and better understand the current and true state-of-play with soft plastics and flexibles in Australia.
Sustainable packaging ensures that the packaging design and materials provides the lowest possible environmental impact compared to existing or conventional packaging. Sometimes achieving the lowest possible environmental impact can be challenging, particularly when balancing various environmental criteria with other functional and commercial considerations.
Businesses are turning to sustainable packaging for many reasons, including the 2025 sustainable packaging targets, corporate social responsibility, reducing their carbon footprint, reducing unnecessary packaging and waste, increasing sales – and because retailers and consumers are demanding it as a key global movement.
Delegates will hear from guest speaker, Joe Foster FAIP, CEO of Close the Loop who has more than 40 years’ experience in the flexible packaging industry, with experience in engineering, production, technical, sales and marketing. Foster brings a global view of the packaging world through his experience running his own businesses (OF Packaging) spanning across countries in multiple continents.
Some of the topics to be covered will include: future capabilities, mono material advancements, kerb side collection, reprocessing, greenwashing and the ACCC and the soft plastics taskforce. Book your place today at http://aipack.com.au/event-registration/?ee=394
