Packaging Solutions
Packaging Innovations and Empack 2022 returns to the NEC Birmingham on 25 and 26 May. A sold out show floor will host 300 exhibitors from across the packaging supply chain, including specialists in initial product design and development, packing, filling, and fulfilment. The event further provides an opportunity for visitors to meet in person and build a network of industry contacts as they seek to take their personal packaging journey to the next level.
The event’s curated seminar programme will gather some of the biggest names from the likes of Pret, Ocado, Nestlé, OPRL, Co-op, Mondalez, and Muller Dairies, to take on the industry’s most pressing issues from the future of packaging materials and developments in sustainability and material innovations, to the ‘heroic’ status of paper in packaging.
The Empack Technology stage will feature content specifically for manufacturing, processing, and logistics professionals.
Notably, the BCMPA will host a session covering the value of outsourcing manufacturing, packing, and fulfilment operations. The organisation will incorporate expertise from several industry leading companies, including Prolog, Lemonpath, and Worldwide Logistics.
Meanwhile, the Innovation and Design stage and Ecopack stage will highlight the latest developments in packaging design and technology.
The Innovation and Design stage will host the Inclusive Packaging Forum, which will see speakers from 1HQ, Waitrose, and Nestlé discuss the industry’s responsibility to deliver easy to use, accessible packaging, alongside being sustainable.
The Ecopack stage will host a new session for 2022, The Big Debate, which will delve into the pressing financial implications of packaging legislation. Supplementing this will be the return of the Ecopack Challenge, in association with OPRL, which will see innovators pitching their sustainable solutions to a panel of judges including Ocado and Pret A Manger.
Renan Joel, Easyfairs’ Divisional Director, said: ‘With the show almost upon us, we are so excited to welcome a fantastic variety of exhibitors to this year’s event, many of whom are at the forefront of the most impressive industry developments. Our industry leading seminar programme we have planned will further provide visitors with actionable, takeaway advice that they can apply to their latest packaging project. Nothing beats doing business face to face, and it will be amazing to be back in Birmingham after so long away. We can’t wait for the event to begin!’
