If women exchange ideas, they can profit and with them so can the entire sector. Interpack deliberately brings international women from the sector together for the trade fair in May. Under the title “Women in Packaging”, on 8 May there will be a first time event explicitly for the women in the sector. The programme features a discussion on stage with top speakers from all over the world as well as opportunities for networking. The event is supported by the WPO – World Packaging Organization – which is contributing its worldwide network.

Taking place once in 3 years, interpack in Dusseldorf is the largest trade fair for processing and packaging. A record number of companies took part in the success of the previous edition. Messe Dusseldorf opened its doors to 2860 exhibitors from 55 countries and 170,899 visitors from 169 countries.

Circular Economy

Even if you have only a nodding acquaintance with the range of topics surrounding sustainability in industry, you will have come across this term: the circular economy. Although this model may be remarkably simple, it is also all-encompassing.

The average airline passenger creates 1.4kg of cabin waste, which can include leftover food, plastic wrapping from blankets, or items tossed in the bins, according to estimates from the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

The airline body said flights could churn out six million tonnes of cabin waste next year, when passenger traffic is expected to fully recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. 

That is enough to fill about 11,700 Olympic-sized pools.

Up to a quarter of the waste comes from untouched food and beverage. 

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday urged the youth of the state to focus on processing and packaging of agriculture produces and items.

He said various produces from the state are in high demand globally and proper processing and packaging will ensure even more endorsement of these products.

Sarma was speaking after inaugurating a 5,000 metric-tonne-capacity cold-storage facility at Chaygaon and a fruit-processing centre at the food-processing park at Satabari, both under Kamrup district.
