Packaging Sustainability, Recycling, Environmental Impact, and Extended Producer Responsibility

Sustainability is—and will remain—the hottest topic across all aspects of our global CPG packaging industry. Packaging is undergoing a transformation as all CPG products face scrutiny related to sustainability. In response to this global packaging crisis, catalyzed by ever-expanding extended producer responsibility (EPR) legislation, suppliers continue to introduce new recycle-ready packaging materials that will work as functionally capable replacements for less-sustainable options. Our global CPG industry faces significant challenges, and flexible packaging has a world of solutions. In this panel discussion, flexible packaging experts will discuss the next generation of flexible packaging options to build a truly circular economy for packaging, addressing key topics like:

  • Achieving sustainability and performance with PE/PA multilayer films
  • Efficient & Sustainable Ultrasonic Pouch Sealing
  • Testing sustainable pouch performance
  • APR-approved, high-barrier, recycle-ready monomaterial laminates
