We're leveling up our sustainability efforts at our events. From carbon tracking to intentional waste reduction measures, we hope to continually learn and improve. Our goal is that these sustainability practices carry over into your life, too.
All of our uniquely curated events offer a different opportunity to collaborate in the sustainable packaging space. Interested in seeing what our other SPC events have to offer? Is attending the first in-person How2Recycle event in your future?
For the first time ever, the Sustainable Packaging Coalition & How2Recycle will be co-locating events in the fall of 2024. Sponsorship opportunities are available for both events, so don't miss out!
