Chicago; Sept. 27, 2024 – From waste to value: How to be a successful partner in a collaborative circular supply chain was the inspiration for the 2024 Packaging Recycling Summit (PRS), presented by Packaging World. Held Sept. 16-18 at the JW Marriott, Anaheim Resort, PRS featured three days of learning and attracted more than 500 registrants, including CPG professionals, retailers, solution providers, reprocessors, and professionals from materials recovery facilities (MRFs).

Leading CPG brands shared their experiences and future vision. Representatives from Google, Amazon, General Mills, Colgate-Palmolive, The Coca-Cola Company, Danone, McCormick & Company, and other organizations addressed the challenges and opportunities for today’s packaging recycling professionals.

Educational sessions explored packaging regulatory changes, including Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR); post-consumer recycled content (PCR); advanced recycling and sortation; consumer behavior and education; strategies for integrating recyclable materials with new and legacy machinery, and designing for recyclability.

A wide variety of packaging materials were discussed, including glass, monolayer tubes, paperboard, thermoformed materials, and flexible film. Experts looked at packaging applications, recyclability, and partnerships to increase sustainability across the circular supply chain.
