Plastics in Packaging 2025: Innovations, Sustainability & Compliance for a Circular Future

Call for Abstracts

We invite proposals from professionals with strong expertise and hands-on experience in the evolving landscape of plastics in packaging. This event will explore innovations, regulatory frameworks, and sustainability strategies shaping the future of flexible and rigid packaging applications.

Ideal speaker profiles include:

  • Materials scientists, packaging engineers, or R&D leaders with in-depth experience in developing advanced barrier materials, smart packaging solutions, and recyclable multilayer structures.
  • Professionals working with bioplastics, compostable materials, or biodegradable packaging who can present real-world data, pilot experiences, or commercial case studies.
  • Sustainability experts and LCA practitioners with strong knowledge in Design for Recyclability (DfR), carbon footprint reduction, or PCR integration in packaging systems.
  • Circular economy strategists and packaging designers who can speak on reuse models, refillable packaging, and the balance between functionality and end-of-life recovery.
  • Regulatory and policy experts with insights into global packaging legislation, additive regulation, EPR implementation, or corporate ESG reporting in packaging.
  • Brand owners or industry innovators who are leading packaging transformation projects and can share practical lessons, challenges, and measurable outcomes.

We are especially interested in case studies, breakthrough research, collaborative initiatives, and presentations that offer actionable insights to packaging professionals across the value chain.

All accepted speakers will receive complimentary registration for the event.
