World Packaging Organisation

The safety assessment of packaging materials poses an ongoing challenge for the industry. Not only in the food sector, but also for cosmetics and pharmaceutical companies – safety of the final product must be ensured.

Latest developments in the fields of recycling and reuse of packaging made this challenge even more complex. FH Campus Wien – University of Applied Sciences will host an international symposium on current developments, advances and challenges in this field.

Together with our long-time project partners from OFI - Austrian Research Institute for Chemistry and Technology , we will organise an interdisciplinary exchange to identify the current state of the art as well as important questions in the field of packaging safety assessment in the near- and long-term future. Renowned experts from the field, scientists, industry representatives as well as students are invited to participate in early 2024.

When: Thursday, 25 January 2024, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., networking afterwards

Where: Event Hall of the FH Campus Wien – University of Applied Sciences, Favoritenstrasse 226, 1100 Vienna

For further questions: Dr. Bernhard Rainer from the Department of Packaging and Resource Management at the FH Campus Wien – University of Applied Sciences will be happy to help at any time (tel: +43 1 606 68 77-3583, e-mail [email protected] .at)
