From November 21 to 23, 2023 at Lyon-Eurexpo, the Prod&Pack trade show will welcome all players in the packaged goods ecosystem.
Launched in 2021, the Prod&Pack trade show has quickly found its place in the packaging sector. The show's focus on bringing together all those involved in packaging eco-design has attracted over 600 exhibitors from three sectors (packaging, equipment & processes, handling), as well as visitors specializing in packaging from all industrial sectors where products are packaged (food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, white and brown goods, and all finished or semi-finished industrial products).
Reuse: a future already here
For 71 % of consumers, packaging is considered good for the environment if it can be recycled, whatever the product purchased (source Citéo). Recycling packaging means above all reusing it as... packaging. The Agec law has set a target of 10 % of reused packaging by 2027, and a decree published in April 2022 sets the annual roadmap for reaching this target. To support companies, Prod&Pack will be presenting two events focusing on reuse:
- Tuesday November 21: the second edition of the Assises Nationales du Réemploi, with a tour of regional projects that are already working, new packaging processes (collection, washing, control and logistics), tomorrow's new standard packaging, and more.
- Throughout the show: "the re-use packaging line", a production line targeting re-use in operation (in an area of 600 m², some twenty suppliers will demonstrate that it is now possible to adapt existing production equipment by integrating packaging for recycling into the process).
The right packaging: fishing for good ideas
New regulations, in particular those under the Agec law, require manufacturers to adapt and the various players in the packaging sector to mobilize for in-depth reflection on the 3R approach (reduce, reuse, recycle).
On Wednesday November 22, a thematic morning entitled "What future for single-use packaging?" will bring together eco-design experts to share their best practices for making packaging more virtuous: reducing material consumption, improving recycling, increasing energy efficiency...
Process optimization: without people, there's no salvation!
Now, more than ever, under strong economic pressure, and at a time when recruitment difficulties are on the increase, production tools must constantly optimize their operational performance. Rising to the productivity challenge means rethinking workflows, supervision, steering and management methods.
On Thursday November 23, experts and company managers will share their experiences of how digital applications, the development of cobotics and work reorganization are improving both industrial performance and serenity in the workplace. The title of this debate: "Operational excellence: combining industrial performance and employee well-being".
