Workshop - Exploring the Benefits of Bio Packaging
Wednesday 7th October – Calcot Hotel, Reading
There is no such thing as inherently ‘sustainable packaging’
The role of packaging in society is under constant review with our customers subjected
to many often conflicting pressures regarding the specification of their packaging. This
workshop is intended to explore how the ‘Bio Packaging’ industry – that is to say
companies whose raw material has a cellulose base, should respond.
The Workshop will be held on Wednesday 7th October at the Calcot Hotel in Reading,
commencing at 3.30 pm. Tea and coffee will be available from 3.00 pm.
Following the Workshop there will be a networking dinner also at the Calcot Hotel,
where you can meet and chat with friends old and new about the workshop, the industry
in general or forget about work all together!!
