The industry is invited to join the Government of Western Australia Department of Primary Industries & Regional Development (DPIRD) and the Australian Institute of Food Science & Technology (AIFST) for two half-day interactive workshops in October.
Nerida Kelton and Ralph Moyle from the Australasian Institute of Packaging (AIP) will discuss all things sustainable packaging for food and beverage businesses at the joint AIFST and DPIRD workshops in WA.
The Unboxing Sustainable Packaging workshop will take participants through regulations, trends and guidelines for packing their product.
Participants will be able to walk away from the workshop with a better understanding of:
- Global, domestic and local WA new packaging and waste regulations, including regulations for single use plastics, extended producers, FOGO, compostable packaging and eco packaging.
- How to design your packaging to be recycle ready, have a lower environmental impact and meet regulations that are coming to Australia.
- The importance of data in packaging including packaging specifications and lifecycle assessment.
Packaging design guidelines for Sustainability and Accessibility & Inclusivity. - Addressing food waste and loss through Save Food Packaging guidelines
After the workshop, participants will be able to register for consultations. The team from the AIP will be offering 15-minute in-person consultations with businesses after the workshop at the venue.
Sessions may be one-on-one or in small groups, depending on the topic. You can request a consultation when booking your ticket. You must provide details on the subject matter you would like to discuss. A time will be allocated closer to the workshop. Consultations are limited and not guaranteed.
WA DPIRD encourages everyone to use this opportunity to connect with the AIP, the peak professional body for packaging training & education in Australasia.
