Blow Moulding 2025: Conference on innovations and sustainability in plastic bottles and containers
According to research by Nortal Consulting, circa 36 million tonnes of polymer (mostly PET and HDPE) have been processed by blow moulding around the world in 2024, mainly to make consumer and industrial packaging valued at c. 97 billion US dollars.
Widely employed as a packaging solution, blow moulded plastic bottles and containers present very specific challenges and opportunities, both in terms of the supply chain and from a sustainability perspective. Fortunately, those can all be debated at this industry’s dedicated meeting place.
Already in its 9th edition, the International Conference / Exhibition / Networking Event Blow Moulding 2025 which will take place from December 10-11 at Brussels, Belgium. is well-established as the annual forum for this industry. It brings together the entire supply chain: from producers of raw materials, additives, machinery and tooling to suppliers of packaging systems and components, as well as brand owners and retailers; not forgetting of course recyclers and sustainability experts.
The two full days comprise absorbing presentation sessions and panel discussions, interspaced with exhibition visits and lots of networking opportunities. It will be an opportunity to get an update on the latest trends, developments and innovations, to promote products, services and capabilities, as well as to meet key experts and industry leaders.
The event covers plastic bottles and containers viewed as complete packaging solutions – i.e. including Caps & Closures, Labels & Sleeves, Dispensing Systems, Seal Films, even secondary packaging. All aspects of the product cycle are within the scope – from choice of raw material and design to post-use stewardship. So are all the various blow moulding technologies and materials.
