philo & co presents AIP Global Packaging Forum ProPAK Asia ‘circular and sustainable design: Packaging for the future
philo & co proudly participated in the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP)’s highly anticipated Global Packaging Forum at ProPAK Asia. This virtual event, hosted in collaboration with Informa Markets and backed by the World Packaging Organisation (WPO), spanned four days and attracted over 2,000 participants from 20 countries. The forum highlighted the transformative role of packaging in creating a sustainable future, underscoring the importance of global collaboration and knowledge-sharing within the packaging community.
As part of the event, philo & co’s Founder, Pippa, presented on the topic "Circular and Sustainable Design: Packaging for the Future." Her session addressed both the risks associated with inaction and the vast opportunities within reach if the industry embraces circular economy principles and rethinks traditional design practices. Pippa encouraged participants to consider packaging design as a core component in driving systemic change and transitioning to more resilient and sustainable business models.
One of the central takeaways from Pippa’s presentation was the urgency of proactive design approaches. She discussed how delaying action on sustainable packaging design could not only jeopardise brand value and market relevance but also intensify environmental impacts. In contrast, companies that commit to circular design can unlock opportunities to increase resource efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance product life cycles, all while meeting evolving industry and consumer expectations.
philo & co is dedicated to helping brands and design agencies build these sustainable design capabilities. For those ready to embrace the shift towards circularity, philo & co offers tailored training sessions and consultancy services designed to equip teams with the tools they need to create sustainable packaging solutions that are future-proof and aligned with the highest sustainability standards.
