Second Sustainable and Adaptable Packaging Event in Latin America
The 21st LAPET series - Circular Plastics Packaging LATAM event, scheduled for December 3-4, 2025, promises to be a significant gathering for stakeholders in the plastics industry across Latin America. This event aims to showcase the latest trends and advancements in circular plastics packaging, with a focus on sustainability, innovation, and circularity in the plastics value chain.
The event is expected to emphasise key themes such as the principles of a circular economy, which encompass reducing, reusing, and recycling plastics, innovations in biodegradable and recyclable materials, and new technologies for improving plastic packaging sustainability.
Latin America's role in advancing circular plastics packaging is becoming increasingly important, driven by increasing environmental regulations and industry efforts to reduce plastic leakage and pollution. The event will undoubtedly highlight the region's challenges and opportunities in this context.
The ongoing international negotiations for a legally binding plastics treaty, such as the UN Global Plastics Treaty, will also impact Latin America’s plastics packaging strategies. The treaty, the latest update with potential impact on all, will emphasise a lifecycle approach to plastics, finance frameworks for sustainability, and multi-stakeholder engagement.
The event will also feature discussions on the role of waste management companies and advancements in Chemical recycling. Innovations in barrier coatings, sustainable Ink, and laminating adhesives for Recyclable Flexible Packaging will be showcased, as will Flexible Packaging growth trends and design guidelines.
Retailers and Brand-owners are increasingly focusing on sustainable packaging trends and strategies, and the event will provide an excellent platform for them to engage and learn. The event will also explore alternative materials/solutions to circularity, including compostable, biodegradable, recyclable, and more.
EB Publishing, a platform for publishing news, events, jobs, and thought leadership, provides a direct way to reach targeted audiences. Users can publish their content immediately on EB Publishing for visibility, with the aim of reaching specific audiences that matter to them. However, EB Publishing does not specify the nature of the thought leadership content or the criteria for reaching targeted audiences.
Infrastructure development for close-loop recycling of flexible packaging will also be a topic of discussion. Parallel events will highlight the involvement of youth and community stakeholders in shaping plastics sustainability initiatives and policies.
Stakeholders in the plastics sector are committed to increasing circularity in products through innovations, improved recycling processes, and sustainable design principles. Following trends from the Plastics Summit - Global Event and other global plastic treaty talks in 2025, this commitment is evident.
In summary, the 21st LAPET event will provide a platform for discussing the latest innovations in circular plastics packaging technologies, addressing regional challenges and opportunities in Latin America, and aligning with global sustainability goals and policy developments. The event promises to be an engaging and informative gathering for all stakeholders in the plastics industry.
- As the 21st LAPET event approaches in December 2025, it will provide a valuable opportunity for stakeholders in environmental-science, such as waste management companies, to discuss and showcase innovations in sustainable-living practices, specifically focusing on close-loop recycling of home-and-garden materials like flexible packaging.
- The 21st LAPET event also presents a vital chance for retailers and brand-owners to learn about alternative materials/solutions to circularity, which can help them adapt their lifestyles and packaging strategies towards sustainable-living principles and environmental-science initiatives.
