Sustainability in Packaging Europe will return to Barcelona on 21-23 October 2025 for the tenth time. The 2024 event saw over 600 packaging innovators join us, and next year's event promises to be even bigger and better.

One of the most important functions of packaging will be increased sustainability. This push towards sustainable practices for packaging and a circular economy is a key influencer, focal point and primary benchmark for the packaging supply chain.
