Welcome
Packaging, recyclables, composting, EPR, new legislation… these are key watchwords running through our latest issue. It’s a complex landscape but our 18-page focus will hopefully offer clarity – while celebrating exciting innovation with some of the biggest players in the sector.
There are exclusive event previews, alongside company profiles and our meats special. A diverse menu for you all to enjoy.
Additionally, tuck in to our comprehensive preview of the illustrious Sammies Awards, which take place at the Royal Lancaster London on May 8. I hope to see some of you there.
