The next edition of the All4Pack exhibition will be placed under the sign of change and sustainable development. From Monday 23rd to Thursday 26th November 2020 at the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre, the 79,000 packaging professionals are expected to discover many innovative and ecological solutions for designing the packaging of the future.
The packaging is indeed at a turning point in its history, facing a "true revolution" according to the organizer of the Comexposium event.
"Preserving our resources and our planet is a necessity to which the sector must respond with new solutions. (...) Faced with the scale of the environmental issues, the challenges are considerable." he explains.
"In addition to the initiatives already taken by manufacturers to meet citizens' demands, the objectives set by the law for the circular economy, passed last February, will oblige them to speed up the process: 100% recycled plastic by 2025, a ban on single-use packaging by 2040, and from 2021, the complete abandonment of expanded polystyrene, which is widely used in food packaging.
So the packaging has to be reinvented."
This year, at All4pack 2020, professionals will be able to discover many specific and responsible solutions, whether under the banners of packaging, processing, printing or logistics.
In particular, eco-design at the heart of supply chain issues will be a strong theme. New solutions for warehouses (innovative and tailor-made packaging to reduce emptiness) or for transport (use of recycled and reusable materials; optimisation of volumes and truck fill rates) will be presented.
And for the first time, the various offers from exhibitors will be presented by material (wood, cardboard, metal, plastic and glass). "This will make it easier for everyone to find the solutions and innovations that may be of interest to them."
