Connecting the Full Plastic Packaging Value Chain

ACI’s European Food & Beverage Plastic Packaging Summit 2027 will bring together the complete packaging ecosystem, from polymer producers and material suppliers through packaging manufacturers and converters, to food and beverage brand owners, retailers, recyclers and chemical recycling operators.

The event is designed to address the practical challenges of creating a more circular and commercially viable packaging system.

PPWR at the Core

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is reshaping how packaging is designed, produced, purchased and recovered.

The summit will explore what this means for recyclability, recycled content, Design for Recycling, reuse, packaging minimisation, EPR and future recycling infrastructure, with perspectives from across the full supply chain.

Key discussions:

  • PPWR implementation and compliance
  • Mono-material and flexible packaging
  • Mechanical and chemical recycling
  • Recycled content and food-contact applications
  • Barrier technologies and next-generation materials
  • Reuse, traceability and circular packaging models

The previous summit already addressed PPWR, EPR, recycling technologies, mono-materials, food-contact plastics and standardisation, providing a strong foundation for the expanded 2027 programme.

Join Other Industry Leaders in April 2027

Unlike broader packaging events, this summit is specifically focused on food and beverage plastic packaging, where sustainability must be balanced with shelf life, food safety, performance and cost.

Join us in 2027 to connect with decision-makers from every stage of the packaging lifecycle and help shape practical solutions for the next phase of PPWR-driven change.

At the event we strive not only to bring you to the same location at the same time as your customers/suppliers/peers, we strive to ensure you meet face-to-face with each and every one of your target contacts and to provide you with the time you need to have multiple unhurried conversations with them and build a lasting business relationship:

• A pre-event informal introduction the evening before the conference
• A minimum of five hours’ networking built into the two day conference agenda
• A networking grid which enables you to make your target contacts aware you are looking for them
• The option to join either social drinks or dinner during the evening of Day One
• ACI’s on-site team will assist you in locating your hard-to-find target contacts & make face-to-face introductions

Of course, if there is anybody you are unable to meet over the two days, ACI’s event team will do their best to initiate contact after the event.
