In under a month’s time, leaders and innovators from across the packaging value chain will come together to discuss solutions to the biggest issues currently facing the packaging industry.

Packaging Europe’s 2025 Sustainable Packaging Summit, taking place at the Jaarbeurs Event & Exhibition Centre in Utrecht from the 10th-12th November, brings together global brands, packaging companies of all types, policymakers, academia, NGOs, and more for two days of high-level discussion and connection building.

We’re excited to announce a list of top-level new speakers, in addition to our already packed line-up:

  • Dominika Maruszak-Dankbaar (PepsiCo)
  • Francesca Stevens (Europen)
  • Feliks Bezati (Mars)
  • Laura Smith (Ellen MacArthur Foundation)
  • Juan Manuel Banez Romero (Amazon)
  • Richard Akkermans (Mondelez)
  • Theres Bertsch (Henkel)
  • Brent Lindberg (Fuseneo)

The Sustainable Packaging Summit is built differently to other conferences. Held annually, its unique format encourages participation and collaboration; meaningful, purposeful dialogue is prioritised. The focus is on action and progress – not just words.

And the themes that participants will discuss are the core issues that really matter to packaging industry professionals, such as:

Regulation

We’ll hear from regulators, innovators, and everyone in between to find out exactly how impending new EU rules will affect the industry – and to see how leading companies are putting best practices into practice.

Scale

Exciting sustainability innovations are great – but how can they become fully fledged models at commercial scale? Delegates will hear from innovators who have successfully completed this journey, and learn from them.

True innovation

The Sustainable Packaging Summit isn’t interested in buzzwords and soundbites – it aims to uncover and spotlight real packaging innovation that will truly make our industry more sustainable, across plastics, fibres, metals, and new materials.

Compliance

Is simply meeting current rules enough, or could more long-term thinking be both environmentally and commercially beneficial?
