Sustainable Packaging ultimately ensures that the packaging design and materials provides the lowest possible environmental impact compared to existing or conventional packaging. Sometimes achieving the lowest possible environmental impact can be challenging, particularly when balancing various environmental criteria with other functional and commercial considerations.

Businesses are turning to sustainable packaging for many reasons, including the 2025 Sustainable Packaging targets, corporate social responsibility, reducing their carbon footprint, reducing unnecessary packaging and waste, increasing sales— and because retailers and consumers are demanding it as a key global movement.

You will hear from guest speaker, Joe Foster, CEO of Close the Loop who has more than 40 years experience in the flexible packaging industry, with experience in engineering, production, technical, sales and marketing. Joe brings a global view of the packaging world due to running his own businesses (O F Packaging) spanning across countries in multiple continents.
