Now in its 34th year, the Packaging Waste & Sustainability Forum is an Informa Connect event that meets each spring at a Brussels hotel and puts EU and national regulators in the same room as packaging producers, waste managers, and material innovators. The 2027 edition runs April 6-8 at the Thon Hotel Bristol Stephanie, with PPWR implementation, EPR harmonization, and circular packaging design as the stated core themes.

01 / Make the call
Is this the right room?
Emitree's assessment of audience fit. Conference access does not establish buying intent or guarantee meetings.
Consider it if
You sell EPR compliance services, recycled or circular packaging materials, chemical or mechanical recycling technology, or Digital Product Passport and smart-packaging software into the EU market. PPWR implementation and EPR harmonization are the forum's core 2027 themes, and both regulators and major CPG brand owners attend.
Consider another event if
Your buyers sit outside EU packaging policy, in voluntary carbon credits or general ESG reporting with no packaging angle. The whole agenda runs on EU packaging law and materials.
02 / Understand the audience
Who attends
Companies registered to attend recent editions include the European Commission, European Parliament, Amazon, P&G, BASF, Nestle, Coca-Cola, Heineken, Henkel, IKEA, LEGO, METRO, Honeywell, ExxonMobil, Roche, Abbott, Aldi, SAP, Crown, and DS Smith, alongside EPR and producer-responsibility bodies (Citeo, Fost Plus, CONAI, EXPRA, EUROPEN, Landbell Group) and trade associations (European Container Glass Federation FEVE, CropLife Europe, Ecommerce Europe). The room mixes regulators, brand-owner packaging teams, waste managers, and material suppliers rather than one buyer type.
How large is the event?
Informa's own event marketing describes the 2026 edition as 'over 150 attendees, including end users' and used '100+ attendees' language for the 2025 edition. No independently audited attendance figure appears on the official event pages, so treat both as organizer marketing copy rather than verified counts.

Tickets and eligibility
No public price list appears on the official event site. Its navigation has no register or prices page (a direct URL guess for one returned a 404), and registration runs through Informa's registrations team ([email protected]) or a requested brochure and quote. Third-party listings reference a 20% partner discount code and a 35% EXPRA-member discount off the standard rate, which points to negotiated or tiered pricing rather than one published rate.
Rates and eligibility can change. Confirm the current price, tax treatment and included sessions with the organizer.

Before you book
The venue is a hotel (Thon Hotel Bristol Stephanie) rather than a convention center, which fits the forum's smaller scale next to the larger EU packaging trade shows.

The practical questions
Before you decide
Is Packaging Waste & Sustainability Forum 2027 still upcoming?
This edition is listed for April 6–8, 2027. Check the organizer's page for changes before booking.
Where can I find the Packaging Waste & Sustainability Forum exhibitor list?
We have not linked a public exhibitor directory for this edition. Ask the organizer about current directories and attendee access.
Does a company listing confirm who will attend?
A sponsor, exhibitor or speaker listing establishes that published role. It does not establish which employees will attend or whether they are buying. Previous-edition examples remain historical.
How can Emitree help with Packaging Waste & Sustainability Forum?
We research relevant accounts using public conference sources and any lists you provide. We qualify the accounts against your offer, run agreed outreach and record replies and meetings in your CRM.
