Reusable Packaging Pavilion, Sustainability Solutions Finder

Sponsored by the Reusable Packaging Association, the Reusable Packaging Pavilion showcases solutions that help companies implement sustainable transport packaging practices. By adopting reusable packaging, businesses can significantly cut waste and optimize their supply chains while reducing their carbon footprint. This pavilion is a must-visit for professionals looking to embrace a greener future.

Navigating sustainable solutions has never been easier with the Sustainability Solutions Finder, a powerful resource directory that connects attendees with professionally vetted suppliers offering environmentally friendly solutions at PACK EXPO Southeast. Attendees can search by sustainability feature, package type, or “beyond the package” for additional criteria such as machinery and sustainable facilities. 

Look for the PACK EXPO Green icon to quickly identify vetted exhibitors leading the charge in sustainable materials, machinery, and services. Educational sessions focused on sustainability will also feature this icon, making it easy to access key insights on eco-friendly advancements.

“From the Reusable Packaging Pavilion to the Sustainability Solutions Finder, we’re making it easier than ever for attendees to identify and implement eco-friendly solutions,” says Laura Thompson, vice president, trade shows, PMMI. “This event is more than a trade show — it’s a catalyst for change, empowering companies to adopt sustainable practices that benefit both their business and the planet.”
