Mini Training Course 2: The Future of Flexible Packaging

Attendees will be presented with an overview of the industry and what is driving changes in the category both locally and abroad, including considerations surrounding food waste, emissions, legislation, and on-pack labelling requirements.
Through this course, participants will gain an understanding of the following:
- To understand the important role that flexible packaging plays in the supply chain.
- To learn about the various flexible packaging materials that can be utilised for more sustainable outcomes.
- To understand the key tailwinds driving the flexible packaging industry and the relevant obligations of brand owners and packaging suppliers in the short to medium-term.
- To understand the challenges and opportunities that exist with the recycling and processing of soft plastics.
- To discover the vast resources available to brand owners and suppliers to support them through the ever-changing landscape of flexible packaging.
This course will be great for retailers, brand owners, sustainability officers, and local government officials.
