New Zealand is leading the charge in sustainable packaging innovation! 🥝 We're looking back at the incredible solutions showcased at Foodtech Packtech. From Rewrapt's 100% recycled content pallet wrap (a People's Choice Award winner!) to Forward Plastics' award-winning, sugar cane-blended bottles, the focus on kerbside-recyclable and bio-based materials was strong. We also saw Detpak & ADM's fully NZ Kerbside Compliant paper rewind solution for fresh produce. Which of these sustainability innovations are you most excited to see roll out across the supply chain? Let us know! 👇 Read the highlights from the AIP Australasian Institute of Packaging Executive Director: https://lnkd.in/ektcaPUk #PackagingInnovation #Sustainability #FoodTech #PackTech #NewZealand #Recycling #SupplyChain

#Welldone to all participants of the AIP Australasian Institute of Packaging Training Day, held last Thursday at Foodtech Packtech! We are thrilled to have partnered with AIP to deliver two globally recognised training courses at this year's event. 👇
The AIP Australasian Institute of Packaging ran not one, but two training courses alongside of Foodtech Packtech in Auckland, New Zealand last week. The training was led by Joe Foster and discussed the fundamentals of flexible packaging and the future of flexible packaging. We do hope that the attendees took away one, or two learnings, that they can apply in their business. A massive thank you must go out to Deb Haimes Tony Waite Dallas Abel for their support leading into, and on the day, to ensure that the courses were a success. To Joe…the AIP are grateful to have your wealth of knowledge and passion in our training team. John Bigley Prof Pierre Pienaar Ralph Moyle CPP FAIP Nerida Kelton FAIP George Ganzenmüller
