A new feature at Pro2Pac 2009 will be the Packaging Innovation @ Pro2Pac seminars, offering visitors the opportunity to learn more about the hot topics relating to global food and drink packaging trends. Pro2Pac runs on March 15-18, at the ExCeL, London.
Among the topics for the the free seminars (sponsored by Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) and organised by Packaging Materials Link) are: Corporate Social Responsibility, Innovation, Brand and Packaging, Packaging in Perspective and Understanding Consumer Insight.
Dick Searle, chief executive of the Packaging Federation, and Walter Lewis, MD of Faraday Packaging, are among the high profile speakers presenting their views on topical issues such as The Role of Packaging in Society and Preparing for Product and Pack Success. With sustainability high on the industry’s agenda, James Dorrell, environmental advisor, Giraffe Innovation, will also explore an understanding of carbon footprint, with additional discussions examining attitudes to EcoPacks.
Co-located alongside the IFE09 food and drink exhibition, Pro2Pac 2009 will host more than 100 exhibitors showing the latest ideas, equipment, machinery, systems, technology, services and materials.
