The Future of Packaging: Markets, Materials & Circularity

7th May 2026

Roberts Mart & Co Ltd, Thornes Farm Way, Leeds LS9 0AN

Join us for a half‑day (9am start), non‑commercial forum exploring some of the biggest issues facing packaging today—from recycling and circularity to resin supply and future materials. Through a series of short, expert‑led talks and open discussion, the event is designed to give packaging users practical insight, clarity and perspective, without a sales pitch. The morning will be followed by lunch, informal networking and the opportunity to tour our manufacturing sites. Places are limited to keep discussion focused. Who should attend?

Anyone responsible for packaging decisions over the next 2–5 years

What will you learn?

What’s really happening in polymer supply and pricing and what’s noise?
