Reusable Packaging Fair 2024
After the success of the first Reusable Packaging Fair in 2023, we are pleased to invite you to the next edition on Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at Congress Center 1931 in 's-Hertogenbosch.
Reusable packaging is a meaningful step towards a circular economy. More and more companies and organizations are already using reusable packaging or exploring the path towards it, driven by sustainability ambitions and changing legislation in the field of Single Use Plastics and the upcoming Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation; PPWR.
Developments are happening at lightning speed, but there are also many challenges and questions. Verpact, Knowledge Institute for Sustainable Packaging (KIDV), Mission Reuse and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management are supporting the transition to reusable packaging by bringing together a large number of players during the Reusable Packaging Fair.
Highlights of the program
The program of the Reusable Packaging Fair includes, in addition to a plenary program, several rounds of breakout sessions.
We are organizing about 20 breakout sessions on various aspects of the transition to reusable packaging. The breakout sessions will discuss topics, sectors and product categories like B2B transport packaging, legislation, cups & meal packaging, transport packaging, reusable packaging in healthcare and cleaning, glass packaging, horti & flora and best practices from abroad. Below you can see the highlights of the program.
