Join us at the Moulded Fibre Packaging conference on May 13th in Amsterdam, where EMPPA will take an active role as a presenter and panellist. This brand-new event brings together professionals from the paper and fibre-based packaging industry to learn about new trends, discuss about new market opportunities and network with peer brand owners, converters, regulators, recyclers, manufacturers, equipment and service providers and suppliers from across the supply chain.
EMPPA has been kindly invited to participate in a presentation and panel discussion titled:
„A multi perspective panel session: what does the future hold for moulded fibre packaging?„
Moulded fibre packaging is going through a revolution and is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 5% to 2028. What are regulatory and customer expectations, and can their needs be met? Is being fully recyclable too much of a challenge and will plastic ever be bettered? How to overcome barrier and technology challenges?
Come and join key industry panellists as they take deep dive into this key packaging sector.
Moderator: Alexey Vishtal, Head of Novel Packaging Development, MM Board & Paper
