28 Apr 2026
Main Stage
  • How are global regulations and evolving brand strategies driving the shift from plastic to paper and shaping regional adoption trends?
  • How do consumer perception, market demand, and corporate R&D investments influence the growth of fibre-based alternatives in key sectors such as food, beverage, and personal care?
  • Which innovations in hybrid papers, barrier coatings, biodegradable linings, and AI-supported design balance functionality, recyclability, operational challenges, and sustainable sourcing?
  • How can paperisation - including the development and scaling of paper bottles - avoid regrettable substitutions, support circular recycling systems, and address ecosystem, social, and resource sustainability challenges?
