Most of the products we use on an everyday basis use high tech packaging materials to protect and deliver the best quality in the most convenient way. After use, packaging material end up as costly waste which is detrimental to the environment. Due to growing pressure from consumers, environmental challenges, and new regulatory constraints growing worldwide, companies now have only five years to implement sustainable packaging concepts and practices. In response to this, investments and partnerships in the sustainable packaging space are now booming. Innovation and investment in alternative to traditional plastic packaging is at an all-time high. The inaugural Sustainable Packaging Investment Summit will bring together an entire packaging ecosystem and introduce innovative start-ups to brands that need greener packaging solutions, as well as investors who are keen on learning more about this booming market.
