Sustainable Packaging: a conference on 9 October

Sustainable Packaging:
the impact of new regulations on the agrifood industry

9/10/2024, via Portogallo 75, 41122 Modena, at C.C.M.

Recent updates to packaging regulations pose considerable challenges for the agrifood industry, involving the need to innovate and redesign packaging logistics and materials. We believed it would be very interesting to bring together leading actors in the agrifood cooperative value chain to discuss the solutions our cooperatives have put in place in response to these new requirements.
