From 27 to 30 May 2025, GreenPlast will return to Milan, hosted at the Fiera Milano exhibition centre in Rho Pero. The international exhibition and conference will serve as a key event for materials, technologies, and processing solutions for plastics and rubber, with a focus on sustainable packaging, energy efficiency, and circular innovation.
European regulations: a paradigm shift
Recent European legislation on environmental sustainability is reshaping the plastics industry, including packaging, by laying the groundwork for a circular economy and reducing the environmental impact of plastic waste. Since 2018, the EU has embarked on an ambitious path towards greater material circularity, introducing regulations that will significantly transform the packaging sector.
The main goals of the European strategy include:
- Designing packaging to be more durable, reusable, and recyclable;
- Increasing the use of recycled materials in packaging;
- Strengthening separate waste collection and recycling infrastructure for packaging materials;
- Reducing single-use packaging and promoting sustainable alternatives;
- Supporting research and technological innovation in recycling and new materials.
This ecological transition calls for the packaging industry to adapt swiftly, seizing opportunities offered by new directives and innovation.
GreenPlast 2025: an unmissable event for the packaging sector
GreenPlast 2025 will be a key meeting point for companies, professionals, and institutions committed to reshaping the future of sustainable packaging. The event will showcase:
- Innovative technologies: from advanced recycling systems to packaging made with sustainable materials, as well as highly energy-efficient processes;
- High-level conferences: international experts, academics, and institutional representatives will discuss circular economy, European regulations, and best practices in packaging;
- B2B meetings: networking opportunities to foster synergies among companies, start-ups, and investors.
In addition to visiting exhibitor stands, attendees will gain access to a rich programme of presentations and demonstrations, exploring cutting-edge solutions and global trends in the packaging and rubber sectors.
