Functional Fiber-Based Materials & Packaging 2025

Functional Fiber-Based Materials & Packaging 2025

Europe’s paper packaging industry is undergoing a transformation, driven by sustainability demands, regulatory shifts (PPWR, Single-Use Plastics Directive), and innovation in fiber-based solutions. With the EU’s circular economy goals pushing for 100 per cent reusable or recyclable packaging by 2030, brands and converters must adapt—fast.

This 2-day conference brings together R&D leaders, packaging converters, and FMCG brands to explore:

Regulatory Challenges - PPWR recyclability mandates EUDR traceability, PFAS bans, and etc.

Material Innovations – For enhanced functionality & sustainability; bio-composites & etc.

Next-gen barrier coatings – Bio-based and/or renewable barrier coatings; application solutions on flexible & rigid fibre packaging

Functional moulded fibre – Drivers for growth, production & tech advancement

Circular Economy Strategies: EPR schemes, minimisation, success case studies

Recycling infrastructure readiness – Advancing recyclability & closing the loop for fibre-based materials


“85 per cent of European consumers now prefer paper-based packaging—are you ready to meet the demand?”
