The impact of innovation and sustainability in packaging

Sustainability is all about choices. But sometimes, those choices have a lot of complexity and subtlety. As we explore processes like Life Cycle Analysis and problems like ocean-bound plastics, we’ll discover all kinds of challenges facing packaging today as well as the opportunities that we have to solve them.

Topics include:

• The particular problems of electronics and retail packaging and how to bring in new ideas to find solutions
• Life Cycle Analysis and prioritizing certain aspects of packaging and sustainability goals
• Examining options to reduce ocean-bound plastics without undermining performance requirements
• How to evaluate solutions for sustainability, like comparing the effects and benefits of recycled materials versus new materials
