Why Sustainable Packaging Isn't Moving Faster (And What You Can Do About It)

​First event of our 8 part series Inside the Bay Area Food System: Eight conversations with professionals who are working from the inside.

​Sustainable packaging options exist. The pressure to use them is real from consumers, from regulators, and now from California's EPR legislation. So why aren't more companies actually making the switch?

​We're bringing together Bay Area professionals who work on this from inside food companies, CPG brands, and supply chains, people who are running into the same walls and have something to say about it.

​Come if you're a packaging engineer, procurement manager, product developer, supply chain lead, or brand manager who's actually dealing with this. A peer speaker will open with a specific challenge they've navigated including tradeoffs and then we open the floor together.

​What to expect:

• ​A short framing from a peer speaker (~15 min)

• ​Open discussion on what's blocking progress and where leverage might be

• ​A close that maps who's in the room and what we should dig into next

​Who this is for: People working in Bay Area food, CPG, retail, food service, or e-commerce who touch packaging decisions or want to.
