Sustainable Packaging’s Watershed Moment
September 29 – October 1, 2025
We’re in the middle of a watershed moment for sustainable packaging. On one hand, it’s never been easier to demonstrate the ROI of sustainable packaging — on the other, new EPR policies, consumer expectations, and urgent environmental challenges demand that we go further. At SPC Impact this past spring, one thing became clear: harmonizing strategies across states, sectors, and stakeholders is our only path forward. This fall at SPC Advance, let’s build on our momentum and rise to meet this watershed moment for sustainable packaging together.
Why Attend SPC Advance?
Networking
Creating a unique pre-competitive space to foster connection and encourage collaboration for organizations to identify and work toward shared sustainability goals.
Community Engagement
By breaking down barriers to build bridges, we create a strong sense of community centered around advancing sustainability throughout the entire supply chain.
Educator
Ranging from foundational to advanced, our role as educators is crucial when many professionals, as the only sustainability expert in their organization, rely on our programs for guidance.
Authenticity
Reflected in our programs, resources, and communications, we deliver difficult truths, stand firm in our positions, and we facilitate honest discussions.
What is SPC Advance?
From policy evolution to breakthroughs in design, carbon reduction, recovery systems, and material advancements, this event is a deep dive into what’s next—and how we get there. Join us as we explore critical topics like Innovation & Collaboration, Policy, Carbon Reduction & LCA, and Recovery & PCR.
The future of sustainable packaging won’t be written in isolation. It will be shaped by partnerships, shared vision, and courageous leadership. Let’s rise to meet this watershed moment, together.

Omni Boston – Seaport
For SPC Advance 2025, we return to beautiful New England. Located in the heart of the bustling Seaport District, Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport is your gateway to the charming and the ever-evolving city.
Our Impact
While any event with attendees hailing from across continents comes with a carbon emissions impact, we make a concerted effort to maximize our SPC events’ sustainability.
Our key event sustainability initiatives include:
- Serving only vegetarian or vegan meals to reduce carbon
- Eliminating single-use cups at events and encouraging attendees to bring and use reusable water bottles
- Sourcing event signage from recycled materials, and recycling those materials at the event’s end
- Encouraging attendees to practice sustainable transportation during the event by carpooling, taking public transportation, or walking
- Diverting food waste to the hotel’s venue partner
