In this episode, Lindy Hughson, Managing Editor & Publisher of PKN Packaging News, is joined by Wayne Robinson, Associate Editor of PKN and Editor of Print21, to discuss Lindy's recent globetrotting to attend a number of events at home and abroad, bringing you updates from the dynamic global packaging industry.
We begin by celebrating our 100th episode of PKN and we review the trends from the APCO awards which were hosted by Lindy and Wayne. The discussion also explores Lindy’s packaging expeditions with highlights from Tokyo Pack with the major theme being sustainability, PackExpo International in Chicago, which had a lot of machinery and material innovations on show, and key ideas emerging from the Sustainable Packaging Summit in Amsterdam which also hosted the Sustainable Packaging Awards and, separately, the Smart Packaging Congress.
We wrap up with Lindy’s real-world comparison between international packaging trends and the products we see on our shelves in Australia.
