Description

Consumers aren't just reading ingredient labels anymore—they're scrutinizing the packaging itself. Concerns about persistent microplastics, PFAs, and other harmful chemicals in conventional plastics are reshaping purchasing decisions, while the environmental toll of plastic waste continues to grow. This session is designed for CPG companies feeling these pressures, and looking for solutions to evaluate.

Enter compostable packaging. Unlike conventional plastics, certified compostable packaging is rigorously tested and regulated to be safe for people and the environment. Join the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI)—the leading authority on compostable packaging certification—in exploring the wide applications for compostable materials and understanding what your CPG brand needs to know to make the switch. [Brand Name], will share their firsthand experience making the transition—from initial decision-making through implementation, consumer response, and lessons learned.

Package design and labeling requirements, infrastructure and curbside collection considerations, and the impact compostables have on EPR legislation will all be covered in this session. Attendees will walk away with a clear understanding of the potential compostables unlocks for their business, and the concrete steps to evaluate and implement compostable packaging for your brand.
