Sustainable Packaging’s Watershed Moment
September 29 – October 1, 2025 | Boston, MA
“Our industry has changed more in the past two years than in the past 32 that I’ve worked in packaging,” GreenBlue Executive Director Paul Nowak said during SPC Advance 2025.
Sustainable packaging professionals aren’t just witnessing this transformation, they’re architecting it. At SPC Advance, we saw a wealth of ways — from composting access data to recycled content claim research — that these experts are using to move us closer to a world where packaging systems help, don’t hurt, human and environmental health.
The Industry is Mobilized — How Can We Use This Momentum to Get it Right?
During three days of sessions, socials, and workshops, one thing became abundantly clear: The sustainable packaging industry is already mobilized. Now, the question becomes: How can we use this momentum to get it right?
An Object in Motion
Consumer norms and values are shifting, and companies are acting because they must.
The Path Forward
We need to build systems for a world we won’t necessarily work in, one that we want future generations to live and thrive in.
…It Continues With Good Policy
“We want to ensure that we’re designing for recyclability, we’re designing for reducing impact”
…And it Hinges on Innovation
Innovations toward sustainability could create EPR savings that can be reinvested to accelerate systemic change.
