Sustainability in focus as IFE manufacturing returns

IFE Manufacturing, taking place on 20-22 March at ExCeL London, is the must-attend event for NPD professionals, packaging directors, food & drink brand owners and more.

More than 150 quality suppliers representing ingredients, processing & packaging, technology, manufacturing and packaging will be on hand to help visitors take food & drink products from initial concept to supermarket shelves. In partnership with sister event IFE, International Food & Drink Event, IFE Manufacturing will host discussion on all things ESG on the Sustainability Stage, sponsored by Elopak, and presentation from agencies such as FMCG Gurus, thefoodpeople, Kantar and Stylus on the Trends & Innovation Platform.

Paul East, Head of Packaging Recycling and Design at RECOUP, taking part in the session ‘The transition to a circular economy for plastics and packaging’ on the Sustainability Stage, comments: “The questions RECOUP receives from members regarding packaging recyclability, and how new legislation will affect them, is increasing. I am looking forward to helping visitors to IFE and IFE Manufacturing understand the basics of recyclability.”

Paul Jenkins, Founder and Managing Director of The Pack Hub, discussing ‘Packaging trends of the future’ on the Trends & Innovation Platform, adds: “IFE and IFE Manufacturing is an essential date in my calendar. It provides a valuable opportunity to network and stay updated on the latest products and trends in the food and drink industry.

“I am excited to have the opportunity to chair a panel discussion on packaging trends and future developments, with a line-up of expert panellists. It promises to be a highly informative and engaging event and I can’t wait.”
