Standing room only at RWM’s Packaging Theatre

Defra’s Linda Crichton explains how the recent EPR Packaging Consultation will shape the future for producers and the government’s next steps.
If there was ever any doubt that packaging is one of the defining topics of our age, two days of fierce debate and jam-packed audiences at the Valpak Packaging Theatre proved there is still much to do, much to learn, and much to communicate.
Carolyn Cross Communication was delighted to play a role in programming the two days of sessions, and we were even more excited to turn up on the first day to see delegates packed into the aisles for the opening session by Defra’s Linda Crichton.
Audiences kept turning up over the following days, as we covered topics including EPR, consumer engagement, marine plastics, technical innovation, consistency in collections and, of course, debates around Plastic Tax and deposit returns. Many thanks to all the speakers who gave their time, and to the audiences who continued to crowd into the theatre!
