IPPO Forum to present:
Packaging Perspectives: Global Trends Driving Change

The International Packaging Press Organisation has partnered with APPMA to add a global flavour to sessions in the APPEX Seminar Theatre, with experienced journalists from Europe and Australia bringing their expert insights and participating in Q&A sessions with local brand owners and industry leaders.

Kicking off on the first day of APPEX, Tuesday 12th March at 2 pm, IPPO president Lindy Hughson will convene the sessions.

Across three jam-packed hours at the APPEX Seminar Theatre, the IPPO Forum will deep-dive into the European viewpoint on packaging sustainability, the future of smart packaging, emerging packaging trends, impacts on Australian food and beverage manufacturers and much more.

To close the afternoon forum, Lindy Hughson will run a Q&A with APCO CEO Chris Foley to provide an update on the latest state of play for packaging legislation in Australia, recycling infrastructure growth, and mapping a path to a circular economy.
