Program - Packbridge Research Forum 2015, May 7 , Lund, Sweden

Program - Packbridge Research Forum 2015, May 7th,
Lund, Sweden - a conference dedicated to packaging
research.
This is the fifth consecutive year we are arranging a conference around packaging
research. The conference is taking place in Lund, Sweden, where leading
universities and top research organisations will present their latest research.
Don't miss this conference where the academy and the industry meet.
We are looking forward to a full day of exciting research projects. These are projects
that will give us a hint of what we can expect from future packaging solutions. On
May the 7th we will her more about:





Completely new materials that are being developed
Biodegradable polymers with superior barrier qualities
Printing technology as well as about labels and migration
Nano technology and about the possibilities with graphene
Consumer’s present and future view of the shopping experience
Apart from this we will also cover value creation through packaging and what we can
expect from the soon completed ESS project or the European Spallation Source.
