The latest innovations improving the sustainability and performance of flexible plastic packaging
One new event - Two conference theatres - Extensive networking
Join us for the inaugural edition of Flexible Packaging Innovation and Recycling, taking place on the 9-10 December 2025 in Vienna, Austria. This brand-new two-theatre conference brings together our established Speciality Packaging Films (formerly Multilayer Flexible Packaging) and Recycling Flexible Packaging conferences to create a platform for all members of the flexible packaging value chain to learn, debate, and network.
In a time where consumers are increasingly concerned with cost, quality, and environmental impact, the flexible packaging industry faces great challenges but also great opportunities for innovation. This forum serves to aid this development by exploring the latest technologies, concepts, and regulations shaping firstly the creation and ultimately the recycling of flexible packaging.
Flexible Packaging Innovation and Recycling will bring together leaders, innovators and experts to explore the latest advances, challenges, and opportunities in the flexible packaging space. With two focused theatres and a shared networking area, this event will provide attendees with comprehensive coverage of the entire value chain and extensive opportunities to network and connect with fellow industry professionals, including brand owners, converters, film manufacturers, and recyclers.
