The Sustainable Packaging Summit 2020 was supposed to take place in Lisbon. Due to the global pandemic, we've redesigned this year's summit as a series of live, virtual events - free to join - from 29th October to 3rd December.
While we could host a physical gathering this year, we don't believe it's possible to deliver the quality of discussion & networking that define the Sustainable Packaging Summit. So we've chosen to go digital.
Instead of assembling for two days in the European Green Capital, we'll be hosting a season of world-class panels, workshops and networking sessions. Register to join us here.
The Sustainable Packaging Summit breaks the familiar industry event paradigms. A platform for meaningful and practical discussion that moves us forward on the key dilemmas.
A carefully crafted agenda focusing on how we progress collaboratively, not self-congratulation
Leading players and thinkers from the value chain brought together with fresh visions and challenges from outside the world of FMCG packaging
Taking interactivity to the next level, with emphasis on discussion rather than presentation, innovative formats, and experience augmented by Packaging Europe’s multimedia content expertise
As well as presenting global authorities on sustainability in packaging, the Sustainable Packaging Summit is partnering with key stakeholder organizations to reveal a holistic view of the challenges and enable cross-fertilization of knowledge.
How do we define the objectives and priorities of sustainability in packaging?
Packaging waste vs climate crisis
Competing visions of a circular economy:recycling, reuse, bio-based
Redefinitions of sustainability
How do we meet the practical challenges in order to achieve our goals?
The path toward a more coherent regulatory landscape
Collaboration: lessons learned & opportunities

Sponsoring the Sustainable Packaging Summit 2021 is the ultimate statement of your commitment to, and thought leadership in, sustainability. We believe the deeper value in sponsorship comes from more than just brand alignment and logo visibility, but truly engaging with the value chain in the search for better sustainable solutions and strategies. That’s why we’re giving our 2021 sponsors a platform to lead the debate, both during the Summit and in our related content throughout 2021, in print and digital articles, podcasts and videos.
Sponsorship puts the spotlight on you as a driver of innovation, collaboration and forward thinking.
