Sustainability
Driving the Circular Economy
At NPE2024, you can immerse yourself in a world of sustainable plastic manufacturing and witness our commitment to environmental stewardship. It is our goal to achieve a goal of repurposing 100% of the plastic from the show — reducing impacts on natural resources, minimizing waste generation and shifting toward renewable energy options. From engaging sustainability workshops to our all-new film recycling program and technology aiding the circular economy, NPE® will shape a greener future for the plastics industry.
