The Australasian Packaging Conference, organised by the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP), will be held in person on 28-29 March at the Crown Promenade, Melbourne.

This will be the first time since the pandemic that the AIP has been able to run this industry event in person, and also coincides with the Institute’s 60th anniversary year. 

The event has been designed to deliver a two-day educational program that will cover a broad range of topics relating to the theme ‘2025 & Beyond’.

The conference will look at how the various industries are tracking towards the 2025 National Packaging Targets, and will cover topics such as refusal, reduction, reuse, recycle and circularity. 

The speakers will also look at what is beyond 2025, and what the industry needs to do to design out waste, eliminate problematic materials, reduce single-use plastic, and ensure that we are capable of collecting, sorting, recovering and recycling all the materials and packaging formats in Australia and New Zealand.

Hear from lead experts in all areas of the waste hierarchy and the opportunity to network with like-minded professionals who are working towards, and beyond 2025.
