As most industries and businesses go full swing after rebounding from the impact of the global pandemic, they are expected to adopt sustainable practices in their packaging.
The 4th International Processing and Packaging Trade Event for the Philippines (ProPak Philippines) on January 31 to February 2 at the World Trade Center will continue to recognize the efforts of exhibitors that share the same sustainability goals as the trade event, officials said in a press conference on Wednesday.
Sustainable Booth Design Awards will encourage creativity and resourcefulness among its trade participants.
One of the participating exhibitors is the Philippine Alliance for Recycling and Material Sustainability whose booth that will showcase recycled and sustainable materials.
The trade event is also retaining its Sustainability Square, an interactive exhibitor zone where guests can learn more about the packaging industry and related processing sectors.
To complement the area, every part of the exhibition is designed to meet corresponding and applicable SDG Goals (i.e. SDG 4 for seminars and conferences).
Other sustainable practices will be observed–seminar rooms will use LED walls and projectors as backdrops, onsite registrations and surveys will be facilitated through QR codes instead of paper, and traditional plastic badge holders will not be used.
