The Cofresco Forum Round Table 2025 brings together leading representatives from science, industry, and public initiatives to discuss innovative solutions and forward-looking strategies. The event aims to foster professional dialogue, highlight current developments, and provide practical impetus for advancing sustainable packaging solutions.
Participants can look forward to a diverse programme addressing critical aspects of the circular economy in the food packaging sector. Presentations by renowned experts will cover key topics such as the production and design of packaging for a circular bioeconomy, regulatory frameworks like the PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation), and advancements in innovative sorting and recycling technologies.
