With packaging at the forefront of the current environmental debate it is the right time to consider the role that packaging can play in leading the transition to a low carbon economy. For this reason, Edge has drawn together some of the leading thinkers for a one day conference on the 30th September to debate the implications, threats and opportunities for the packaging supply chain.

 

A thorough debate will be facilitated by David Shukman (BBC News science and environment correspondent). Dorette Corbey MEP will provide insights into the Dutch “packaging carbon tax”, followed by case studies from packaging manufacturers and users.  The speaker programme includes Unilever, Colgate Palmolive, Stora Enso and Tetra Pak. With the UK roll-out of the Wal-Mart scorecard scheduled for 2009, it is appropriate that a retailer viewpoint will be provided by Julian Walker-Palin, Head of Corporate Policy for Sustainability at ASDA. Liz Goodwin, CEO of WRAP, will complete the list of speakers.
