El reWINE in Hispack 2018

From 8 to 11 May, Hispack & FoodTech Barcelona will be a major hub for business, knowledge and networking for the packaging and food technology industries, developing significant synergies and proving decisive in brand innovation. This is the fourth time that the fairs have been held together at Fira de Barcelona's Gran Via venue, attracting nearly 1,100 exhibitors from 30 countries. It is expected that the figure of 38,000 visitors, 10% of them from abroad, that was registered at 2015, will be exceeded in this edition.

 

It is Hispack in particular –which attracts 800 direct exhibitors– that deals with the materials, technology, processes, logistics and solutions for manufacturing and the use of all types of packaging and containers for all industrial sectors and mass consumption markets - not just food - and advertising at the Point of Sale.

 

Sustainability, improving the experience of using packaging, automation towards the 4.0 industry, and packaging logistics will be the major topics of this edition that emphasises the strategic value of packaging in industry and the economy. In this context, Hispack will have four main areas for activities that will hold 70 conferences and round tables with more than 185 speakers to debate the four vectors that drive the development of packaging, and industry with an annual turnover of over 20,000 million euros in Spain.

 

Hispack will also include sessions for sector associations and bodies and the presentation of the Líderpack Awards, the most important in Spain for packaging and POS.

 

The reWINE project will be present at the Fair, with a poster in the exhibition area and a conference, by Pilar Chiva, Director of the Circular Economy Area of the Waste Agency of Catalonia, who will present a presentation in the framework of the prevention of packaging.
