The packaging sector reaches the 45 % of the total plastic materials consumption. In addition, this sector has become the most sustainable of all, which has a constant grow of around 4 % yearly during the last years.
A great part of this growth was promoted by changes in consumption patterns, especially in everyday products, food, cosmetics, and chemical and pharmaceutical products. Trends towards product packaging are higher every day, and two basic components must be provided: be attractive for sale and adequately preserve products contained.
The International Seminar on Plastic Packaging is a professional meeting, of which aim is to make know scientific, technological, and legislative innovations about materials for plastic packaging manufacturing and packaging systems through a series of subject matters, which will change in future editions. After the success of the previous edition, this seminar is expected to be consolidated as a forum of reference in the plastic packaging world.
