Why you should attend

With a comprehensive technical committee providing input to the programme agenda, the 2010 Plastics and Paper in Contact with Foodstuffs will deliver the latest updates and insight into the European regulatory landscape, allowing extensive time for debate and networking.

Attendees will take away not only the latest news from European regulators, results from industry working groups and progress in analysis of new materials for food packaging, but also a valuable knowledge-sharing experience through the extensive networking and social agenda. See below a breakdown of attendees at the 2009 event:

In 2010 we will again co-locate with our well established Extractables & Leachables event, with participants fulfilling the same role as for Plastics and Paper, but in the Pharmaceuticals industry. Attendees will be free to migrate across both conference programmes and add value through shared networking time with those working in this parallel supply chain.

"Food contact and pharmaceutical packaging regulations have a lot in common and often share the same origins, so it makes perfect sense to co-locate these two popular conferences and maximise the benefits from discussion across the two packaging applications" said Robert Stead, Head of Events at Pira International. "We are delighted to be in Germany for 2010, and look forward to yet another successful conference in one of Europe's most historically rich and forward-thinking cities".
