A look back at the past year in packaging
As we enjoy the summer holiday period, and we can look forward to being able to hold physical events again in the not too distant future, I thought it would be a good opportunity to look at what IOM3 and the packaging board has done in the last 12 months and what’s to come.
I’ve written a piece as a 'Look back at the past year in packaging' in which I’ve summarised the activities we’ve been involved in from podcasts and Materials World articles to policy responses and influence, blog posts and future plans.
I hope you’ve enjoyed what we’ve done and I look forward to being able to meet many of you in person in the coming year.
