Plastics and packaging are fast becoming public enemy number one, but packaging solutions have been extending shelf life and preserving the quality, safety, and integrity of food and beverage for years, while facilitating complex global supply chains. Will changes in the quantity of packaging used lead to an increase in food waste? This session will kick off with words from WRAP on the status of food waste today via video, to be followed up by our expert in food contact packaging. Discover innovations in sustainable packaging and what standards industry are working on relating to reduction in waste through the circular economy model. Looking for a balanced approach between packaging reduction and food waste,  this session should particularly benefit those hoping to make a difference in relation to UN SDGs 2, 12, 14 and 15.

 Modern-day supply chains require greater transparency and traceability than ever before, whilst supply chains are becoming more complex, greater distances and multiple geographies. The increasing importance of trust means that buyers need to know their supply chains inside out and ensure the appropriate controls are in place to manage compliance, social and ethical risks. The delivery of this session focusses on protecting your workers and your reputation, whilst avoiding funding and contributing to modern slavery and human poverty.

Our global resources are finite. The waste we create today will potentially be pulling the planet in tens, hundreds or thousands of years to come. The circular economy model tips the culture of single-use on its head, with the focus on designing a product to be transformed and have multiple uses across the material’s lifetime. Aligning with the principles of the UN SDG’s, discover how organizations are aligning to UN SDG 12, responsible production and consumption with intelligent use of the circular economy model in new product development (NPD).
