Driving Packaging Circularity: Innovating and Collaborating for Recyclability

The Packaging Recycling Summit 2025, presented by Packaging World, brings together brands, materials suppliers, reprocessors, and materials recovery facilities (MRFs) to illuminate all facets of the circular supply chain. Held at the beautifully reimagined Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas Resort & Spa from June 25-27, this premier event highlights how innovative materials, strategic partnerships, and forward-thinking policies can transform waste into valuable resources.

Discover the critical role of design and material selection for recyclability, and the importance of collaborating early in the design process. Engage in discussions on current legislation, brand innovations, and how collaborative efforts across the supply chain can build more resilient and sustainable business practices that benefit both the bottom line and the planet.
