Extended Producer Responsibility will be featured strongly on the Circular Economy Stage. On Wednesday, Pack UK, representing packaging producers in the EPR framework, will be officially launched, with a panel including Defra Director, Emma Bourne.

 

Defra will also have a clinic at the event, offering one-to-one advice on compliance, data reporting, costs, and future developments.

 

Also on day 2, Defra Minister, Mary Creagh leads a key industry panel of EPR experts.

 

“This is truly a superb trade show, which now has a greater foodservice packaging presence than ever before,” said Kersh. “Expect to bump in to FPA members, retail and trade customers and suppliers. Expect to be able to learn more about the new regulations and expect to have a thoroughly worthwhile and productive day or two.”
