Between innovation and sustainability: focus on materials and research at IPACK-IMA 2025

Thursday 19. December 2024 - The IPACK-Mat project dedicated to materials is back, and so is the thematic area Ipackima Lab focusing on product testing and certification, with the support of CONAI and Italian Institute of Packaging.

One of the most significant challenges facing the packaging market, an industry that has been engaged for years in the search for sustainable solutions, is the study of materials.
Innovative packaging that reduces material and bulk and thus slashes CO2 emissions and waste combines with the search for increasingly green packaging that is nevertheless able to ensure the same protection potential in whatever market it is inserted. The search paths explore all packaging materials, identifying the best solutions to fully exploit the properties that ensure food security, stability and thus the efficacy of the molecule of a pharmaceutical, protection during the transport phases, and correct preservation in each phase of the process.
IPACK-IMA, the innovation monitor par excellence
At IPACK-IMA, at Fiera Milano Rho from 27 to 30 May 2025, we will be talking about materials innovation: more than 200 companies will be filling us in with specialized proposals for eco-friendly and smart materials that are able to cater for sustainable production and rationalization needs.
Assets that will be relaunched in the different stands inside the show, with the IPACK-Mat – Packaging Materials for Product Development brand, a project that aims to make easily identifiable the companies present within the exhibition halls that offer primary, secondary and tertiary packaging materials, either exclusively or in combination with machines and plants.
