Eco-friendly solutions abound at premier packaging and processing show in Latin America
Guadalajara, Jalisco; April 22, 2025 — Sustainability is a prime focus of EXPO PACK Guadalajara 2025 (June 10–12; Expo Guadalajara) with a myriad of sustainable products and services for the packaging and processing industry. Highlights of the show, organized by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, include the EXPO PACK Verde program, educational sessions dedicated to sustainability, and a new sustainability report. In addition, the event and its venue promote sustainability.
The EXPO PACK Verde program highlights exhibitors offering sustainable packaging and processing solutions and helps attendees quickly locate recyclable or compostable materials, energy-efficient technologies, waste-reduction strategies, and circular economy practices. Exhibitors who offer sustainable solutions will be clearly identified with EXPO PACK Verde signage in their booth and an icon promoting their involvement in the program within the online exhibitor directory: EXPO PACK Verde exhibitors.
Innovation Stage will feature several 30-minute educational sessions hosted by exhibitors who are dedicated to sustainability. These presentations include case studies on circular economy implementation and real-world applications of sustainable technologies. A list of each day’s sustainability-related sessions is available at Sustainability-Focused Sessions – Innovation Stage.
EXPO PACK Guadalajara will open with a keynote conference presenting the results of "Global Packaging Trends: Global Growth Markets to 2025," an exclusive business intelligence study developed by PMMI and Euromonitor International. This market intelligence report highlights future packaging demand, product categories, and growth opportunities in packaging across rapidly growing and mature global economies. In addition, the keynote will present material transition data being tracked by PMMI, highlighting key data points on the adoption of recyclable materials, the reduction of packaging waste, and improvements in energy efficiency.
