The first session, titled “Simplifying Adoption of Sustainable Packaging for Brands,” will take place Monday, May 11, at 11am. The presentation will be delivered by Janne Varvemaa, Director, Products & Technology, at UPM Specialty Materials, and Lori Gobris, Global Marketing Director, Packaging, at Michelman. “Achieving real progress in sustainable packaging requires more than individual innovation. They are formulated to meet global regulatory requirements including the Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD) and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) frameworks like SB54 in California. These efforts are helping bring more sustainable packaging solutions to the market to keep pace with regulatory requirements.”Visitors attending interpack 2026 are invited to learn more about Michelman’s work in sustainable packaging development in Hall 8a, Stand B25.
