In today’s rapidly evolving market, the drive toward sustainability calls for collaboration and accountability across the entire packaging value chain. In this session, I will discuss the critical role suppliers play in building a sustainable value chain, from sourcing to the end consumer. The presentation will cover the importance of committing to regenerative forestry practices; advancements in energy-efficient, non-fossil-based production processes; strategies for designing paperboard packaging for circularity; efficient logistics practices; how partnerships with sustainable converters and printers drives positive change; and how suppliers can directly support brands in meeting their ambitious sustainability targets, such as reducing Scope 3 emissions and ensuring that packaging is fully recyclable and/or compostable. This presentation will highlight how each link in the value chain plays an essential role in accelerating progress toward a more sustainable future, positioning suppliers as vital allies in the journey to achieve meaningful environmental impact.
