Kremsmünster, Austria, May 2021. Greiner Packaging Innovation Days was a popular in-person event in years past, but in 2021, it will be hosted digitally for the first time in the “Virtual Packworld.” This format will give guests a wide range of opportunities to learn about new materials, packaging trends, and innovations as well as giving them first-hand access to expert knowledge.   

COVID-19 has changed many things due to the resulting restrictions on interpersonal contact and travel bans, but Greiner Packaging’s innovative spirit has absolutely remained intact. Those attending Innovation Days will now have the chance to experience this for themselves. Rather than hosting an in-person event, Greiner Packaging is responding to the situation by creating a virtual format with digital presentations that will still provide an opportunity for personal interactions and individual networking.

The key topic at this year’s Innovation Days will be sustainability – and how it relates to innovation first and foremost. The entire packaging industry is working to address the exciting challenges posed by sustainability and innovation these days. After all, the only way to quickly develop eco-friendly solutions is by adopting highly innovative approaches. With this in mind, Innovation Days will focus on factors such as sustainable packaging design, using sustainable materials, improving recyclability, and, of course, the legal aspects pertaining to these efforts.

Engaging keynote speeches and expert talks await guests at this year’s Innovation Days, covering topics including sustainable materials such as r-PS and r-PET HTS as well as new market trends and innovations like digital watermarks, to name just a few examples. After each round of live talks, the relevant experts – including brand owners as well as specialists from NGOs and the waste management and retail sectors – will be on hand to answer any questions. Moreover, visitors can make one-on-one appointments with the experts from Greiner Packaging.
