The pharmaceutical packaging industry is at an inflection point. Regulatory frameworks, ESG commitments, consumer expectations and material innovation are converging to fundamentally reshape how pharma companies think about packaging - not just as a protective function, but as a strategic and environmental responsibility. For packaging professionals, understanding this landscape is now as important as understanding the materials themselves.

In this opening session of the Future-Ready Pharma Packaging series, Dr Akbar Ali of ACG Packaging Materials maps the global forces driving this transformation and explores what a credible path to net zero looks like in practice - across products, processes and systems.

Attendees will leave with:

• A clear understanding of the regulatory landscape shaping pharmaceutical packaging today - including PPWR, EPR, ESG and emissions reporting.
• Insight into the carbon hotspots across the pharma packaging value chain and where the greatest opportunities for impact lie.
• A framework for evaluating sustainable packaging solutions that meet both environmental targets and the uncompromised requirements of patient safety and product performance.
