Sustainable Packaging Summit 2026

The Sustainable Packaging Summit is the leading global event uniting the entire packaging value chain to accelerate progress toward a circular, low-impact future. Taking place 10–12 November 2026 at the Beatrix Theatre, Jaarbeurs Event & Exhibition Centre in Utrecht, this year's biggest edition yet expands to three full days of panels, breakout sessions, networking, and innovation showcases.

Building on record attendance, the 2026 Summit sharpens its focus on the business models and technologies helping the value chain meet environmental obligations while driving profit. A community of 1,000+ packaging professionals from 43+ countries — spanning global brands including Amazon, Mars, Nestlé, McDonald's, Nike, LEGO, and Walmart, alongside startups, investors, policymakers, and scientists — will gather to turn insight into action.

Hear from 130+ expert speakers, including Paul Polman (Ex-CEO, Unilever), Lee-Ellen Dreschler (SVP Corporate R&D, P&G), and Archana Jagannathan (Chief Sustainability Officer for Europe, PepsiCo). Discover cutting-edge solutions from 90+ exhibitors, and gain actionable insights across advanced recycling, AI-driven innovation, circular transformation, paper-based packaging, PPWR & EPR regulation, and reuse pilots.

Round out your days at the International Block Party — an evening of food, drinks, and live music — and the prestigious Sustainability Awards, celebrating the most groundbreaking innovations in the industry.
