Packaging MEA’s Post

The first steering committee meeting marks the kick-off of a new stage of preparation for the Touchpoint Sustainability at drupa – no. 1 for printing technologies. 🌱   Following the conception and acquisition phase, mainly focusing on the booth design and the approaching of potential exhibitors, the implementation of the company-independent sustainability forum is now on the agenda.   Almost 30 well-known companies and exhibitors are now on board to showcase a wide range of best practice solutions, demonstrating what the industry has already achieved in the sustainable transformation of the sector and what it can offer customers.   One of the key messages in that context: sustainable processes have become economically viable, as they increase resource efficiency in various areas and maintain or even increase brand values. 📈   At yesterday’s first steering committee meeting – hosted by Thomas Schiemann and his team – all co-exhibitors of the Touchpoint Sustainability came together virtually to get an update on the current status and to discuss common expectations and goals. During the exchange between the participants, the concept, the communication and the implementation of the project were praised in particular. All participants are looking forward to the trade fair and to present their contribution to the topic in this forum. Everyone is looking forward to the feedback from visitors. 🎯   The individual showcases of all co-exhibitors are currently being designed and the extensive stage program for all 11 days of the trade fair is coming together.   👉 Stay tuned for further updates in the coming weeks and save the date for drupa! Looking forward to meet you at Touchpoint Sustainability from 📆 May 28 – June 7, 2024.   #drupa #drupa2024 #PrintingTechnologies #PrintIndustry #PaperTechnology #TradeFair #Sustainability #VDMA Lisa Raphaela Grübl Laura Braun

What a year! For the VDMA Printing and Paper Technology Association, it was characterized in particular by preparations for drupa – no. 1 for printing technologies 2024, the world's most important trade fair for the industry. The trade association is not only co-organizer of the trade fair, but will also organize the special forum Touchpoint Sustainability with many best-practice examples as an industry overview and as a joint discussion forum for the trade fair. In spring, Thomas Schiemann took over the management of the trade association and immediately initiated a comprehensive strategy process to align the association for the future. At the same time, the Touchpoint Sustainability had to be planned and already promoted. To this end, he traveled with Messe Düsseldorf GmbH to many events in Asia and South America. At year-end last week, three destinations in India were on the agenda, which were also successfully realized with a lot of public interest. The new year will continue with further events in Asia and Africa. But the focus of our efforts will remain on the future orientation of the association for real added value for members and the realization of the Touchpoint Sustainability, which you should not miss at all! So, see you at drupa 2024 at the end of May in Düsseldorf. #drupa #drupa2024 #PrintingTechnologies #PrintIndustry #PaperTechnology #TradeFair #VDMA

ZeroPackaging is currently at the FACHPACK in Nürnberg! To stay up to date on the latest trends and developments in the packaging world, we visit exhibitions and trade fairs on a regular basis. One of the events you can often find us at is FACHPACK, a leading European trade fair for all things packaging. Held in Nuremberg for over 40 years, FACHPACK offers a comprehensive insight into all relevant topics from the packaging industry. Want to learn more about solutions for product packaging to packaging materials, logistics, technology, and printing - you will find it here! We’re excited to share some highlights we discovered at the event: 1. Hemp paper: the exceptionally long hemp fibres make this paper tear-resistant and water-resistant. 2. Plastic wrapping film with filament: due to the filament, less plastic is needed to maintain the same strength. 3. New die-cutting tool that can punch a shape in honeycomb: this may be used as an inlay tray.
