SINGAPORE - The FuturePak 2010 which will be held on 11th and 12th October 2010 at The Fullerton Hotel, Singapore will provide critical insights of packaging related professionals on topics ranging from new technologies, sustainability, waste management, novel materials and design to marketing aspects that will help your company rise to the top.
According to The National Environment Agency (NEA) of Singapore, the volume of solid waste has increased by nearly 6 times in the last 30 years. The NEA believes building more landfill sites and incinerator plants is not a long-term solution. NEA has signed a Packaging Agreement which will last for 5 years, and took effect in July 2007 to reduce the amount of packaging produced. This agreement also tries to drive more eco-friendly types of packaging, packaging that can be more easily recycled for example, or packaging that is derived from material that is sustainable in nature. Some regulations require food packages to use biodegradable and environment-friendly material.
Based on this, there are always issues revolving packaging in the markets. As Singapore is one of the busiest business hubs/centres for SEA, it is the most suitable location for this event.
