Sustainability is transforming the packaging supply chain, and the expo in Liverpool aims to deliver practical, commercially-focused guidance and serve as a northern hub for innovation.

The event responds to tighter regulations and a shift toward recyclability and carbon-led decision making, prioritizing extended producer responsibility, material reduction, and circularity as commercial imperatives.

Data-driven sustainability and digital traceability are increasingly influential in packaging design, with emissions reporting guiding strategic decisions.

Sustainability seminars will help attendees navigate regulatory changes and environmental decision-making, including PPWR responsibilities and turning emissions data into actionable guidance.

The Sustainable Packaging Zone will showcase exhibitors focused on compliance, carbon reduction, circularity, and material innovation, including Beyondly, Cradloop, Recoup, Zevero, and Brook Green Supply.

UKPackaging Expo 2026 in Liverpool (November 10–11) will feature the dedicated Sustainable Packaging Zone to spotlight technologies, services, and expertise advancing sustainability across the sector.
