FINAT Technical Seminar 2022
Finding a Path through the Sustainability Jungle
InterContinental Barcelona, 23-25 November 2022
Where does the value chain stand today in terms of sustainable opportunities in the label industry? How can we achieve sustainability, go greener and benefit from it? Is it really possible to comply with all the requirements and demands of brand owners? An array of expert speakers will explain the various concepts, highlight what solutions are available to be more environmental friendly and reduce waste. Last but not least, they will outline current and future legislative aspects required to meet the targets for a circular economy which will ultimately create more value for our industry.
