Sustainable barrier coatings for packaging are materials that provide effective barrier properties while minimising environmental impact through recyclability, biodegradability and the use of biobased materials.

Growth for sustainable barrier coatings in packaging is expected to be particularly strong for biobased polymers around 25% globally from 2025-2030. The demand for Sustainable Packaging barrier coatings is increasing as packaging designers and manufacturers strive to reconcile the conflicting requirements of prolonged shelf life with environmental and regulatory challenges.

This webinar is very timely and will provide an update on market overview and trends, legislation landscape, technical solutions and innovations as well as discussing challenges and opportunities. 

This webinar should appeal to a broad range of professionals including marketing, R&D and environmental/compliance managers.

This is an era of rapid change, driven by new legislation in particularly extended producer responsibility (EPR) and the plastic packaging tax. The costs from non-compliance are potentially onerous. While the UK is leading many other countries are looking at similar concepts.
