Opportunities for paper-based food packaging and serviceware abound throughout their lifecycle amidst global megatrends
impacting the sector. Think e-commerce, anti-plastic sentiment
and sustainable consumption and production.
We have arranged an outstanding panel of presenters for our ninth annual conference.
Please join me in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, October 29th
at Focal Point 2019 to:
- Grasp the changing landscape of paper for food packaging and serviceware.
- Learn about new and innovative fluorine-free barrier coatings technologies intended to replace PFAs.
- Hear about the successes and challenges in implementing the collection and recovery of fiber from poly-coated beverage containers, and aseptic and gable top cartons.
- Gain insights and perspectives on Kwik Trip's vertical integration model.
- Understand the approaches McDonald's are taking to reduce their packaging and serviceware burden.
