Stringent legislation, but also the needs of consumers, require a rethinking of design, processes and products in line with the circular economy. Materials with high levels of post-industrial recycled content, such as those already used today, are only the beginning: for the transition ahead, we also need resources with post-consumer recycled content, as well as bio-based and biodegradable materials. On November 14th, we aim to provide inspiring keynotes, insights into innovative projects and solutions (from Stellantis, Roechling and Maip, among others), and outlooks on future challenges and rewards – and of course there will be opportunities for sharing and networking.

It is supported by leading national and international food companies working together to find solutions for a sustainable future in food production.
