[AMI, BRISTOL, UK 1 March 2021] AMI, leading provider of market intelligence and events for the global plastics industry, has recently released the agenda for the Specialty Packaging Films Virtual Summit, taking place on 23-25 March 2021 from 1.30pm ICT.
This three-day virtual programme will offer attendees the chance to update their technical and market knowledge from anywhere in the world, addressing key issues such as sustainability, enhancement of barrier properties in multilayer structures and food packaging safety.
With increasing public awareness and support of sustainable packaging initiatives in Asia, the pace of new developments is accelerating. The 2021 conference will explore sustainable pack design and end of life options, including the latest mono-material solutions and compostable films. The enhancement of barrier properties in multilayer structures is also seeing significant development, helping boost shelf life and prevent product waste. Leading plastics processing experts will share new innovations in high barrier film solutions, including advances in polyolefins, additives and films. Food packaging safety is of critical importance, but it can be complicated to navigate and keep abreast of changing rules. The conference will look at current regulations for food contact materials and other key considerations such as reduction of VOCs.
Key sessions include:
• 'New and innovative mono-material packaging' presented by Dai Nippon Printing
• ‘Update on Food Contact Materials in the ASEAN’ presented by Thai Packaging Association
• ‘High barrier films – sustainable solutions’ presented by Max Specialty Films Ltd.
