Optimizing sustainability in packaging begins with package design and continues with package use and post-use opportunities. This session will explore how package design choices influence recycling opportunities and examine the role of energy recovery in packaging end-of-life. Experts in post-use optimization will identify important considerations, opportunities, tradeoffs and best practices related to the recovery of packaging resources and their subsequent diversion from landfill. Attendees will hear lessons learned from experts on the environmental front lines at the city, state, national and global level and gain real-world insights from a variety of perspectives. If you are a designer, engineer, scientist, corporate manager or marketer, this session offers exclusive information with practical applications.
