The German Packaging Institute announced the date for the German Packaging Congress on Friday. On 17 and 18 May, representatives from business, politics, research and NGOs will have the opportunity to exchange ideas. This year's event will once again be held exclusively in digital form.<\/strong><\/p>

The core theme of this year's congress is packaging as a pioneer in the transformation to a circular economy. \u201eFor example, we are looking at energy, climate and the future and analysing the role of packaging in these fields. We want to clarify the extent of the Circular Economy's contribution to climate neutrality<\/strong>. We take a look at Extended Producer Responsibility, analyse aspects such as the litter fund and plastic tax, provide an overview of the EU's regulatory activities and look at the legal framework as well as the Opportunities and potential of digitalisation in relation to sustainability and the circular economy<\/strong>,\u201c says Kim Cheng, Managing Director of the dvi<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Congress participants have the opportunity to use a special B2B matchmaking tool, Individual meetings with other participants<\/strong> to take place. \u201eWe already used this option for virtual networking last year. It has proved its worth and gives our participants the opportunity, generate leads in the virtual space as well<\/strong>, to network with new contacts or maintain existing contacts,\u201c says Cheng.<\/p>

The registration form for participants is available from the German Packaging Institute free in the next few weeks<\/strong>. Information and forms can be found on the Website of the dvi<\/a>.<\/p>
