The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) will be holding a technical dinner on 11 April on the topic of consumer and environmental trends in plastic.
The event, held in Melbourne in conjunction with the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE), is designed as a panel, with key topics and trends to be discussed openly by guest speakers.
The panelists (pictured above) will include Richard Fine (BioPak), Kurt Palmer (Steinert Australia), Dr Sean O’Malley (Planet Ark) and Mark Jacobsen (Repeat Plastics Australia).
There will be time on the night for interaction and questions from attendees.
The panel will discuss the current global discussion around plastics and the circular economy, oxo degradable plastic, the shift towards sustainable packaging, better understanding of the current recycling issues and trends, moving away from single-use plastics and the impact of buying recycled products.
Other areas for discussion will be how compostable bioplastics can assist in the diversion of organic waste from landfill, and utilising compostable bioplastics for foodservice disposables.
