Revising the title: Exploring the future of candy packaging: Achieving sustainability through paper options
In the ever-evolving landscape of packaging, a significant shift is underway - the transition from plastic to paper materials, often referred to as 'paperization'. This transformation is set to be the focus of a forthcoming webinar hosted by Packaging Europe, featuring experts from Ahlstrom.
The webinar, titled 'Can Paper Truly Replace Plastic in Confectionary Packaging without Compromise?', aims to provide practical insights into accelerating the packaging transformation journey for packaging professionals, brand managers, and sustainability leaders.
At the helm of Ahlstrom's sustainability efforts is Natasha Chorlton, Head of Product Sustainability. Natasha collaborates with cross-functional teams and external partners to embed sustainability across the value chain, bridging the gap between technical innovation and green claims compliance.
Rafael Yamamoto, Head of Innovation for Global Food Packaging at Ahlstrom, is another key figure driving this change. His focus is on developing paper-based packaging solutions that offer high performance and are recyclable.
Raffaella Premonte, Food & Beverage Packaging Development Lead at Ahlstrom, partners with global brands to create recyclable, high-performance packaging. Her work supports confectionary brands in reducing plastic use, securing cost efficiency, and enhancing consumer trust.
The learning objectives of the webinar include understanding the drivers of paperization, exploring the technical requirements for paper packaging, and discovering Ahlstrom's portfolio for the confectionary sector.
Elisabeth Skoda, Editor at Large at Packaging Europe, will moderate the webinar. With a background in translation, online news editing, and a broad understanding of the packaging industry, she brings a wealth of experience to the table. Her keen interest in packaging functionality and the consumer experience promises an engaging and informative session.
The technical challenges specific to confectionery packaging include protecting product freshness and appeal while ensuring recyclability and compliance with evolving legislation. The webinar covers both today's proven solutions and tomorrow's innovations in sustainable paper packaging.
Upfield, a company that develops recyclable solutions for paper packaging in the garment industry, combining barrier protection and reliable performance on packaging machines, is another player in this field.
Registration is required to attend the webinar, which promises to be a valuable resource for those seeking to navigate the shift towards more sustainable packaging solutions in the confectionery market.
