One of the main speakers, Sonia Raja, Tesco's senior packaging buyer, said: "I felt it important to support the carton industry by attending and speaking at the conference to elaborate on Tesco's commitment to reduce packaging and encourage recyclability, as carton board constitutes a significant part of our primary and shelf ready packaging".
Pro Carton members attending the conference were provided with up to date knowledge, enabling them to confidently promote and educate packaging material specifiers, retailers and brand owners on the benefits of cartonboard and cartons - that they are and have been for many years manufactured from a sustainable and renewable resource and as such are the most sustainable form of packaging available.
