About this event

About this event

The ReWrapped project has been researching the Irish packaging life-cycle by consulting the different stakeholders involved in packaging; packaging companies, food and non-food producers, and waste handlers. The goal of this research has been to identify barriers and potential solutions for a circular packaging economy. One of the barriers identified is a lack of communication between stakeholders. The ReWrapped project team therefore wants to present current results to stakeholders of the packaging industry. To engage in a conversation about how to change make the Irish packaging life-cycle circular.
