6th Functional Fiber-Based Materials & Packaging
As Europe enters a new era of sustainable packaging under the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), the fiber-based packaging industry faces evolving compliance obligations, technical requirements, and market expectations.
The 6th Functional Fiber-Based Materials & Packaging conference in Barcelona will bring together brand owners, packaging converters, fiber producers, material innovators, technology providers, recyclers and regulatory experts to examine how businesses can navigate this transition while creating long-term commercial value.
The conference agenda will provide updates on PPWR developments, recyclability requirements and practical strategies for preparing packaging portfolios. Leading FMCG companies will share how regulatory changes are influencing packaging innovation, procurement decisions and sustainability priorities.
Sessions will also examine advances in barrier papers, PFAS-free coatings, molded-fiber technologies and high-performance materials designed to replace plastic without compromising functionality. Further discussions will cover alternative fibers, biomaterials and next-generation feedstocks that can support more resilient and circular packaging supply chains.
Through commercial case studies and industry perspectives, participants will explore how new manufacturing technologies, material platforms and value-chain collaborations are accelerating the adoption of functional fiber-based packaging across multiple applications.
The event offers packaging stakeholders an opportunity to exchange insights, benchmark strategies and assess emerging market opportunities as the industry moves beyond regulatory compliance towards innovation and competitive advantage.
