Flexible Packaging & Converting Industries In Wisconsin
The Wisconsin Flexible Packaging and Converting industries are leaders in the U.S. As the leaders, we recognize the impact of PFAS and the international movement away from Flexible Packaging and Plastics. We are witnessing governments across the globe having an impact on these industries. We need to come up with solutions for new products, substrates, recycling technologies, water technologies, etc. or face government restrictions. Plan to attend PFAS – Impact on the Planet and Solutions for the Packaging Industry on Thursday, Nov. 2, to discuss this important topic.
