13 February 2020 13:30Mindpark Helsingborg

Digitalization is a megatrend per se. It penetrates to our day to day routine, affects our ways of living and influences the development of the entire society. In this event, we are going to concentrate on how this trend is shaping the development of E-commerce & Logistics.

With e-commerce growing, the industry struggles to understand its impact on traditional packaging supply chains. We will go in-depth, talk and discuss the connections between E-commerce, Logistics and Packaging. As packaging is an inevitable and integral part of this domain, what challenges, complexities and opportunities the packaging industry is facing and what does it mean for the entire packaging value chain?

It’s important for the entire packaging value chain to take a look around, get to know which businesses are growing and look for ways to get ahead both in business as well as life. It is also important for businesses to take a lead and adjust to a rapidly changing environment, to fulfil their customers' expectations and look for ways to match with e-commerce & logistics expressions.

From making primary packaging more e-commerce-adaptable to making packaging more flexible, sustainable, reusable and recycable. Its time for the packaging industry to become proactive, take the driver´s seat and meet the needs, but also start making people talk about packaging as a possible enabler of sustainable digitalization, and not just a part of the problem.
