PLASTICS, SUSTAIN ABILITY, RECYCLABILITY TAKE CENTER STAGE AT GLOBAL POUCH WEST

摘要

From the opening keynote to a special panel discussion on materials for stand-up pouches, sustain-ability and the future of flexible packaging recy-clability were two topics discussed to at least some extent in nearly every presentation at the recent Global Pouch West. Held December 5-7 at the Anaheim Marriott in Anaheim, Calif., the fourth Global Pouch West offered the nearly 250 attendees a pre-show networking reception and a supplier exhibition focused on pouch packaging, in addition to 14 educational presentations. And while the likes of ultrasonic sealing, child-safe packaging and pouch packaging of liquids were among the notable subjects covered, the hottest topics focused on sustainability and plastic end-of-life solutions.
