Program

About the Event The topic of sustainability has gained a lot of attention at different levels in society, but understanding of this concept varies widely. In some case, opinion suggests certain packaging materials should be banned although full details of their footprint are not known, in other cases the focus is directed solely towards marine littering. In addition, new legal directives are in the pipeline, raising further questions. To establish clarity on what is fact and what is conjecture in this much-debated field, key questions will be answered by well-known experts.

- What are requirements of large brand owners? - How is the ecological footprint of different materials assessed and rated? - What about bio-degradability, especially in the marine environment? - What is the future of bioplastics in general?

Target GroupAs sustainability is highly topical, this seminar will be of benefit to a broad audience. Staff in business deve-lopment roles, project management and engineering from the food industry, plant and equipment manufactu-rers and materials suppliers will receive the information they need to make the right decisions.

Aims and Benefits The seminar aims to provide participants with sufficient knowledge to judge which materials are “really” sustainable and which just align with an “idea of being sustainable”.

13:30 - 14:30 Can flexible packaging be both “Sustainable” and “Circular”?Graham Houlder, Director Sustainability, Flexible Packaging Europe, Düsseldorf- How “Resource Efficiency” should be driving thinking on both Sustainability and Circularity of our Packaging Systems- The importance of full value chain collaboration, such as in the CEFLEX project, in proposing eco-design guidelines for packaging and end of life infrastructure/systems that will help to make flexible packaging even more sustainable and relevant in the circular economy

14:30 - 15:15 From Packaging Waste to Construction Material, a True Circular Economy StorySarah Perreard, Dupont Global End Users Leader & Sustainability Value Chain Leader- Multilayer Packaging is necessary to provide food safely and efficiently - Multilayer Packaging can be a valuable raw Material if collected and recycled- Education and Collaboration is necessary for collection and recycling to happen

15:15 - 15:45 Coffee Break and Networking15:45 - 16:45 Bioplastics are leading the way to more sustainability – Opportunities and Challenges

Hasso von Pogrell, European Bioplastics Ass., Berlin- Bio-based plastics are derived from renewable resources and therefore reduce the dependency on fossil resources and help to use resources more efficiently- Bioplastics have the same properties as conventional plastics and offer additional benefits, such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions and improved functionalities- Bioplastics can easily be recycled in existing recycling streams. Biodegradable plastics offer additional end-of-life options such as organic recycling (industrial composting or AD) and help to divert food waste from landfills and incineration

16:45 End of first day19:00 Networking Dinner

Day 2 – October 12, 201709.00 – 09:45 Circular economy by recycling flexible packaging

10:30 - 11:00 Coffee Break and Networking11:00 - 11:45 The role of renewable packaging in the Circular Economy

Hein van den Reek, Director Business Development Formable, Billerud Korsnäs, Solna- Can paper replace plastics?- We need carriers & barriers- We need to grow and work through the whole value chain material – machine - brand

11:45 - 12:30 What a tree can doPäivi Harju-Eloranta, Director of Sustainability, Stora Enso, Imatra- Responsible sourcing - Fibre based food packaging - Future potentials of fibres
