WHAT

This conference will explore the environmental challenges facing users and producers of plastics packaging and identify innovative solutions that meet demanding sustainability and economic criteria.

WHERE & WHEN

Dec. 8-9, 2010 -- Westin Atlanta Airport

WHY

Never before has packaging been so high up the political, environmental and consumer agenda. Today, the pressure is on all in the packaging supply chain, from retailers and brand owners to packaging manufacturers and fillers, to deliver products that meet the everyday needs of consumers while satisfying their demand for improved environmental credentials.

While the pressure is on the packaging industry in its entirety, it is without doubt being felt at its most intense by the plastics sector. Against this challenging background, plastics packaging producers are being asked to deliver solutions that very clearly put sustainability first. But exactly what does sustainability mean? And how can it be measured? How can reduced energy use be balanced against ethical sourcing? Or weight reduction against ease-of-recycling? In fact, can the environmental and social impacts of plastics packaging even be considered sensibly in isolation from the rest of the supply chain?

This conference will bring together expert speakers to provide clear and informative insights into issues impacting every stage in the plastics packaging supply chain. This high-level conference and networking event will ensure you understand how demands for improved sustainability can be converted into a successful strategy for your business.
