PETCORE EUROPE Executive Webinar Briefing Pack
“From Fragmentation to Trust in Food Contact Materials (FCM)”
Duration: 2:00 – 4:00 PM CET
Executive Summary
The food contact materials (FCM) industry is facing increasing complexity driven by regulatory pressure, rising use of recycled PET (rPET), and fragmented data across the value chain.
This webinar brings together brand owners, recyclers, and industry experts to align on how to ensure food safety in a circular system.
The session is designed as a structured narrative: starting from industry pressure, moving to system fragmentation, introducing enabling approaches, and concluding with industry alignment and discussion.
