The annual Packaging Innovations & Empack exhibition at the NEC, Birmingham is set to run this Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th
Taking place at the NEC, Birmingham on Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th February, Packaging Innovations & Empack says it plans to shine a spotlight on the future of packaging.
The annual event sees exhibitors from all corners of the packaging sphere as well as speakers across three stages to discuss topical issues and challenges.
Speakers include Martin Kersh, executive director of the FPA; Paul Jenkins, founder of ThePackHub; and Jude Allan, chair of the IOM3 Packaging Group.
Renan Joel, managing director of the Packaging Division at event organiser Easyfairs, says: “The theme of this year’s event is to offer solutions for every step of the packaging journey, from concept to fulfilment and everything in between.
“The line-up at Packaging Innovations this year is unmissable – there is something for attendees from every industry and job function. This is more than just a packaging event, it’s about the future – of packaging, yes, but also of retail, brands, and the supply chain that connects us all together.”
Described as a “triple-bill event”, the show is made up of three areas – Packaging Innovations, Empack, and Contract Pack & Fulfilment.
Speakers will be held across three stages: Design & Innovation, Circular Economy, and Supply Chain. Keynote speeches will be delivered by Mark Van Iterson, global director of design and sustainability at Heineken; a talk on circular economy from George Cole, director of Resource Futures; and a headline speech from Jo Fairley, co-founder of chocolate brand Green & Black’s.
Also taking place at the event will be ‘The Big Responsibility Debate’. Split into two parts across day one and two, the debate will explore keeping the costs of EPR and DRS under control, and how realistic delivery is by 2024.
Exhibitors of the 2023 show include Abbey Labels, AM Labels, Bristol Labels, CarbonQuota, Dufaylite, Encore Machinery, GMG Color UK, Mondi, Newton Print & Packaging, and Royston Labels.
