The packaging industry plays a critical role in the global transition towards a circular economy — one where materials are kept in use for longer, resources are recovered, and waste is designed out of the system.
Circular Economy Week 2026, hosted online by SPN, is a dedicated editorial and events week exploring how circular economy principles are being applied in practice across the packaging sector. Featuring expert insight, real-world case studies, and practical examples, the week highlights the organisations, innovations, and collaborations driving meaningful progress.
What is Circular Economy Week?
Circular Economy Week is an online SPN event designed to spotlight practical implementation rather than theory. Content published throughout the week focuses on what is working, what is being tested, and the challenges the industry is navigating as it transitions towards more circular packaging systems.
Key themes include:
- Circular design and materials innovation
- Reuse and refill systems
- Collection, recovery, and recycling infrastructure
- Circular supply chains and logistics
- Commercial, regulatory, and policy drivers shaping change
What to Expect
Across Circular Economy Week, SPN will publish a curated programme of written and video content, including:
- In-depth case studies from organisations implementing circular packaging solutions
- Expert interviews offering insight, lessons learned, and practical guidance
- Video content exploring technologies, systems, and real-world applications
- Industry perspectives on the future of circular packaging
The event is aimed at packaging professionals, sustainability leaders, brand owners, retailers, and solution providers seeking credible, insight-led content on circularity.
