Together with 150 guests, SPIES sought answers, presented solutions and discussed a lot, about circular economy, alternative plastics, barcodes in labels and new supermarket concepts from Asia. There was also a look behind the scenes at SPIES Packaging: The programme was accompanied by informative factory tours through the most modern injection moulding plant for food packaging in Europe, our Plant 3.
