The 2027 Countdown for Packaging

What do consumers actually want from sustainable packaging?

What are researchers already delivering?

And what will the law require of you by 2027?

If you work in packaging or polymer production, these three questions are no longer separate conversations — they are one.

Goals

This event is designed to bring them together in a single session, connecting real consumer survey data with the latest innovations in bioplastic packaging and a clear-eyed look at the regulatory horizon.

We will unpack the Empowering Consumers Directive, PPWR deadlines and Digital Product Passport requirements — and show how they align with what the market is already asking for.

Whether you are developing new materials, redesigning packaging lines, or planning a compliance strategy, this is the briefing you need.

Practical, evidence-based, and built for industry professionals who are ready to act.

Come with your questions. Leave with a roadmap.
