SUMMARY:Imagining the Packaging of the Future:  Sustainable Solutions Unwrapped 1.0
DESCRIPTION:The Valley’s State of Play events bring together the Swiss food innovation ecosystem to explore the opportunities related to key Impact Platform topics. This time\, together with Valley partners Nestlé and Tetra Pak\, we’ll be taking a deep dive into the world of sustainable materials for packaging. \nThe issue\nSince 2015\, the global population has increased by 10%\, while the global economy has consumed 70% more materials than what the planet can replenish. As little as 8.6% of materials abstracted are currently repurposed. A shift from the current model – “take-make-waste” – to a circular economy is needed to tackle climate change\, biodiversity loss\, waste and pollution. \nThe opportunity\nSustainable packaging is a multifaceted opportunity for a more sustainable food system with various environmental\, social\, and economic dimensions. It involves knowledge sharing and collaboration among different stakeholders\, including manufacturers\, retailers\, consumers\, and policymakers\, to work towards reducing the overall environmental impact of packaging materials and processes.  \nWhy you should join us\nThis event will take a deep dive into the world of sustainable materials for packaging\, exploring current innovations in alternatives to wood fibres for paper substrates and high-performing bio-based polymers\, enabling knowledge sharing and networking\, and identifying the most promising business opportunities and areas for collaboration between ecosystem actors. It will also bring together leading Swiss and EU experts and Swiss and international startups who will pitch during the event. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				The Agenda\n09:30  Coffee & Networking \n10:00   Welcome & Desired OutcomesFood packaging\, planetary boundaries and Switzerland’s roleChristina Senn-Jakobsen\, CEO – Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley \n10:10  State of Play of Sustainable Packaging Trends & Challenges\, Q&AFelix Grünewald\, Partner\, McKinsey \n10:50 Overview of Research & Innovation in Packaging & Sustainable Materials; Q&A \nAlternative Fibres \nNanocellulose from residual biomass for food packaging applicationDr. Gilberto Siqueira\, Research Scientist\, Empa \nAlternative high-performing bio-based polymers \nSide streams of agri-food Industry as an alternative packaging materialProf. Dr. Selçuk Yildirim\, ZHAW School of Life Sciences and Facility Management\, Centre for Food Production and Packaging \n11:20 Break: Coffee to go \n11:30 The EU Policy & Regulatory Context: the “Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation” : what implications?; Q&AHazel O’Keeffe\, Partner\, Keller and Heckman LLP \n12:10 Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley Partners: “Sustainable Packaging: the way ahead”Ingemar Jacobsson\, Director Material Solutions\, Development & Technology\, Tetra PakRob Hoitink\, R&D Packaging Lead\, Nestlé  \n12:30 Lunch & poster session for startups & academic innovation \n13:30 Focus on solutions – Introduction \nChristina Senn-Jakobsen\, CEO\, Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley \n13:35  “Modification of Polymers for High Performance Sustainable Plastics Solutions”  (10’) \nProf. Holger Frauenrath\, Laboratory of Macromolecular and Organic Materials (LMOM)\, Institute of Materials (IMX) at EPFL \n13:45  “Recent advances in R&D&I to further drive the implementations toward a bioeconomy” \nProf. Tomas Anderson\, Head of Key Accounts\, RISE \n13:55  Q&A \n14:05  Pitches from start-ups \n14:40  Interactive session \n15:00  Open mic discussion from all groups \n15:15  Final remarks\, lessons learnt & next steps \nIngemar Jacobsson\, Director Material Solutions\, Development & Technology\, Tetra Pak  \nRob Hoitink\, R&D Packaging Lead\, Nestlé  \nChristina Senn-Jakobsen\, CEO – Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley \n15:30  End \nWith support from : Bern Economic Development Agency \nGETTING THERE: \nBERNEXPO\, Entrance A \nSee general  map of the venue and more specific details to access Entrance A and Parking \nFor those arriving by car : parking rates are: first hour CHF 4.00\, CHF 2.00 per additional 30 minutes. daily maximum for 24 hours CHF 38.00 \nFor those arriving by train/tramt the nearest station is Wankdorf Center (3 min walk)  \n
