Packaging Waste & Sustainability Forum

For 32 years the Packaging Waste & Sustainability Forum has provided a conference platform for Europe's regulators and packaging sector to address important legislative and practical advances. Regulators sit down with producers, waste managers compare notes with material innovators, and brand owners get answers about navigating the PPWR, harmonising EPR across borders and making circular packaging work in practice, not just on paper.

From policy to production, from materials to waste management – get a complete range of stakeholder perspectives on sustainability.
