Sofitel Europe, Place Jourdan, 1 – 1040 Brussels

Two years ago, in December 2015, the European Commission published its Circular Economy Package. One of the first and major actions of this package was the revision of the waste legislation, including the Waste Framework, the Landfill and the Packaging & Packaging Waste Directives.

With these discussions still ongoing between the EU institutions, the upcoming EU Plastics Strategy expected for the end of 2017 will – once again – reshape several policy areas of direct concern to the packaging sector: design, collection, implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility schemes, to name but a few.

These issues will be first discussed with leading CEOs of the glass packaging industry, high-level speakers from the European Commission, the food and beverage sector and  the  packaging supply chain.

The panel will be followed by a moderated discussion with the audience.
