Food and beverage packaging in 2026: De-risking innovation for long term value creation

Food and beverage companies face mounting pressure to address packaging and food waste, and the challenge of meeting regulatory requirements whilst maintaining product safety and cost efficiency.

In a sector where delivering healthy, safe products and reducing waste are now table stakes, forward-thinking companies are asking: does their packaging match that commitment?

In this webinar, we’ll scan the 2026 sustainable packaging landscape for the food and beverage industry, focusing on the opportunities in innovation and strategies for long-term value creation. We’ll do so through case studies of best practice and lessons learnt across packaging and product development.

We’ll discuss:

  • Packaging and product innovation: How to deliver quality products in safe packaging, balancing regulatory requirements with performance?
  • What it takes to de-risk innovation: Frameworks for identifying which technologies and solutions generate credible progress in a rapidly evolving landscape
  • Packaging as a strategic asset: How companies are leveraging packaging innovation to better engage consumers and share compelling brand stories
