This live Q&A, part of our Packaging for a Sustainable Tomorrow series and developed with our Sustainable Packaging Technical Committee, takes a practical look at the decisions packaging teams are making now around sustainability, recyclability, cost, and compliance. Moderator Tim Backe and speaker Cory Connors will discuss how companies are defining sustainability goals, evaluating packaging choices, preparing for EPR requirements, and balancing business realities with environmental objectives. The premier session follows an interactive, podcast-style format with audience questions encouraged throughout the conversation. What you will learn
Extended Producer Responsibility is rapidly becoming a day-to-day reality for packaging teams. With legislation active across multiple states and new requirements emerging, many organizations are facing the same challenge: understanding what EPR readiness looks like today and how to prepare without perfect data or fully built systems. In this session, Matthew Wright, founder and executive chairman of Specright, offers a practical view of how packaging professionals can start building a stronger foundation now. Drawing on real-world experience, he outlines how teams are organizing packaging data, improving collaboration across suppliers and internal groups, and putting scalable processes in place as regulations continue to evolve.
The Pharmaceutical Quality by Design Principal (QbD) is adaptable to packaging development processes for perishable items. These scientific processes eliminate many problems associated with the conventional trial-and-error method of packaging selection that either end up in overpackaging or lead to product stability failures and filing delays.
Sustainability has evolved into much more than a buzzword. It now permeates everything packaging professionals do, and it has become central to corporate governance. Professionals at Dow ask an intriguing question as we look to the future: Can we move forward by circling back?
Regulatory shifts in food packaging are coming fast, and staying ahead of them is critical. This webinar covers the latest updates from the EU and U.S. on food-contact materials, new chemical restrictions, and evolving compliance requirements.
Explore the impact of food-safe packaging, from how design modifications can extend a product's shelf life to the challenges of poorly planned alterations.
