The Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) is hosting a Future of Packaging workshop, for the packaging, waste and recycling sectors this November. 

Following a monumental year for the packaging, waste and recycling sectors, the workshop aims to upskill, educate and foster collaboration towards the future of packaging across Australasia. 

Interactive workshops will allow for collaboration and networking amongst industry peers, and enable the identification of solutions and next steps for action as the industry prepares for change. APCO says the event will provide the opportunity to learn from industry experts, gain valuable insights, and engage in thought-provoking discussions

Chris Foley, APCO’s CEO, will also provide an update on the organisation’s approach to packaging beyond 2025.

Workshop attendees will be given an in-person opportunity to contribute and advise on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to their industry – and their individual businesses – in the context of a changing packaging landscape in Australia. 

Feedback obtained from this session will be shared with the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. 

Jodie Bricout, global circular economy leader at Aureon, and one of Australia’s leading circular economy expert, will help to facilitate the workshop, along with the APCO executive team. 

Bricout leads Aurecon’s dedicated circular economy team across Australia and New Zealand, and comes with knowledge and experience of working with partners ranging from leading corporates, emerging innovators to governments, and academics in the circular economy field across Australia, Dubai and Europe. 

The workshop will be held on Thursday 2 November at the Australian Maritime Museum, Sydney.
