its role as a central convening point for the UK packaging industry.
Together, these organisations form a unified platform where policy direction, commercial strategy and materials innovation intersect. WRAP will mark this collaboration with a dedicated networking breakfast on Wednesday, 16 September at 9 am in the VIP Lounge, bringing together senior industry voices to focus on practical progress in packaging sustainability and circular economy solutions.
London Packaging Week also sits at the centre of the UK’ s evolving regulatory landscape, including Extended Producer Responsibility
( EPR) and wider packaging policy frameworks, reflected in a keynote from Esther Carter, Chief Strategy Officer at PackUK.
Her session,“ Next steps for industry in the evolution of EPR”, taking place on Wednesday, 16 September from 11:45 am to 12:10 pm, will examine how the sector moves from regulatory readiness to practical delivery, and the alignment now required between policy ambition and commercial packaging strategy within a single shared forum.
This alignment is further reflected in a high-level conference programme featuring senior leaders from across the industry, including representatives from the British Retail Consortium, British Soft Drinks Association, Walpole, Ecosurety and the British Beauty Council, alongside technical and regulatory experts shaping the next phase of packaging transformation.
Alongside this, the event continues to bring the industry together at scale, with confirmed participating brands including Aldi, Amazon, Charlotte Tilbury, Disney, Fred Perry, Jo Malone, John Lewis, Lush, Marks & Spencer, Mars, No7, Superdrug, Tesco, Waitrose, William Grant & Sons, Müller, Compass Box Whisky, Selfridges, Diageo, Suntory Beverage & Food Europe, PepsiCo, Penhaligon’ s, L’ Occitane and Molton Brown, spanning luxury, beauty, retail, drinks and FMCG.
