With sustainable packaging top of the national agenda, the 4pm panel in the International Packaging Press Organisation (IPPO) Forum sessions at APPEX in Melbourne next month, will see leading converters and suppliers point the way forward for brands.
As the 2025 targets rise on the horizon, and with them pending government mandates, a quartet of industry leaders will share the steps they are taking to enable brands to make sustainable packaging choices.
The panel will feature two of the country’s top converters, Detpak and Opal, both known for their innovative, considered and successful new solutions. Mark Rorhlach from Detpak and Craig Dunn from Opal will share the steps their companies are taking to provide brands with the solutions they need to meet their targets, and to meet the expectations of consumers, and will discuss the way forward from here.
They will be joined by two of the leading materials suppliers to the packaging industry, Ball & Doggett and Jet Technologies, both of whom are leading the charge into the use of sustainable solutions that have the required level of functionality. Zaidee Jackson from Ball & Doggett, and Daniel Malki from Jet Technologies, will discuss the considerations necessary to switch to sustainable materials.
The panel will be moderated by PKN Packaging News associate editor Wayne Robinson. It takes place Tuesday 12 March at 4pm in the Seminar Theatre.
Robinson said, “Sustainability now is necessary for packaging solutions, and soon it will be legally mandated. The converting industry is doing some wonderful work to enable brands to transition to sustainable solutions. The panel will highlight the options for brands, and the pathway to sustainable success.”
