The provisional program is now available for the 2023 Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) Australasian Packaging Conference, which will be held on 28-29 March at the Crown Promenade Hotel in Melbourne, Victoria.

On top of being the first time since the pandemic that the AIP have been able to run these two important industry events in real life, 2023 also represents a very special year for the AIP, who will be celebrating its 60th year in operation.
The conference will look at how the various industries are heading towards the 2025 National Packaging Targets and will cover topics such as refusal, reduction, reuse, recycle and circularity.
The speakers will consider what is beyond 2025 and what the industry needs to do to design out waste, eliminate problematic materials, reduce single-use plastic, and ensure that we are capable of collecting, sorting, recovering and recycling all the materials and packaging formats in Australia and New Zealand.
“Come join us and hear from 65+ lead experts in all areas of the waste hierarchy and the opportunity to network with like-minded professionals who are working towards, and beyond 2025,” said Nerida Kelton, executive director of the AIP.
“The Conference is set to attract delegates from all facets of food, beverage, pharmaceutical, manufacturing and packaging industries including packaging technologists, designers and engineers, sustainability managers, marketing, sales, production, design agencies to equipment suppliers, raw material providers, users of packaging, retailers and consumers, environmental managers, procurement, quality teams, government and councils, and waste and recycling companies.
“The whole of industry is invited to attend this important conference and be part of the discussion.”
