Reusable Packaging Learning Center at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2025 - South Hall Upper, Booth SU-34000

About the Session

Winning supply chains will thrive when confronted with increasing geopolitical risks, sourcing disruptions, and market demand complexities.  Success will be built on a foundation where real-time data capture fuels the deployment and utilization of artificial intelligence (AI).  This session outlines the promising AI breakthroughs in supply chains and the unique role and advantage of reusable packaging at the core of this transformation.

About the Session

Join us to learn about how Kamps is creating and harnessing innovative technology in each stage of the pallet life-cycle to add measurable value to supply chains across the country. From material handling equipment for the puropse of extending the life of a pallet during warehousing and transport to utilizing artificial intelligence for efficient and accurate reverse logistics, this session will contain real-world insights into how Kamps is changing the way supply chains think about the life-cycle of a pallet. 

About The Session

The lifespan of reusable transport packaging products is not infinite as applications change, replacement models are introduced, or product damage is beyond repair. But in all cases, products still contain value and environmental savings. Join this industry discussion to learn what happens when products are no longer usable and how the repurposing of materials extends the returns on investment and circular principles.

About the Session

In today’s e-commerce landscape, brand integrity and consumer trust are paramount. This keynote explores how advanced variable data printing (VDP) is revolutionizing product authentication through the Amazon Transparency program. As a partner to the Amazon Transparency Team, Menasha Packaging empowers brands to integrate unique identifiers seamlessly across packaging formats, enhancing supply chain visibility, reducing counterfeit risks, and boosting customer engagement. Attendees will gain actionable insights into implementing Transparency codes, leveraging new retail packaging printing technology, co-packing services, and streamlining workflows to protect their products and grow their business. This keynote will also discuss how new variable data printing is applicable to the GS1 Sunrise Initiative and expectations related to serialization.

About the Session

Automated storage and retrieval systems are transforming how products move. The right system design can unlock major gains in speed, efficiency, and accuracy. But there’s one component that rarely gets the attention it deserves—the container.

Bins, trays, and totes are often specified late in the project. Yet they play a central role in system performance, from induction rates and reject counts to noise, labor efficiency, and uptime. When overlooked altogether or not given proper attention, they become a source of costly delays and performance issues. When done right, they help unlock the full potential of your automation investment.

This session brings the container and all of the many considerations associated with the container, bin or tray to the forefront.. Experts from Monoflo International will explore what operations, engineering, and supply chain leaders need to know when selecting bins for AS/RS systems.

If you’re leading or supporting automation initiatives, this session will help you make smarter, earlier container decisions that support your system now and into the future.

About the Session

Through the integration of technology-enabled reusable transport packaging and advanced analytics, companies are unlocking actionable insights that improve visibility, optimize asset use, meet regulatory requirements, and drive sustainability performance. Panelists will share real-world experiences, challenges, and lessons learned in deploying technology-enabled reusable transport packaging solutions and advanced analytics-based solutions.

About the Session

A look at all of the different, maybe even competing, criteria that impact the development of the correct packaging and material handling solutions for the application within today’s supply chain.

About the Session

Packaging used to store, ship, deliver, and display perishable commodities to consumers in retail and foodservice markets is under scrutiny with great attention to reducing solid waste and preventing pollution while protecting food quality and freshness. Markets are seeking sustainability performance from their suppliers and governments are using policies to change practices. Today the fresh produce and floral industry is ripe for innovations in packaging. In this panel conversation hosted by the International Fresh Produce Association (IFPA), learn about the issues and trends impacting the packaging of fresh and how growers and shippers view reusable packaging as a solution in their sustainability journey.

About the Session

The U.S. Plastics Pact, in partnership with WRAP and Upstream, has launched a pre-competitive, collaborative initiative to harmonize efforts and advance B2C reusable packaging in mainstream retail environments. Aimed at helping companies make progress toward legislative mandates, this program pulls together brands, retailers, and reuse providers to align efforts on a strategy that is most likely to succeed in converting to reusable packaging formats, building off learnings from the B2B reuse space and pilots globally. Hear the latest on this effort and what we’ve learned since the start of the Scoping Phase, and get a sneak peek of the future of this program. 

About the Session

The EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) sets bold reuse targets, 40% of transport packaging by 2030 and 70% by 2040. Reusable totes and pallets are critical to meeting these mandates while also cutting single-use waste, reducing carbon emissions, and improving supply chain efficiency.

This session will cover:

• How reusable totes and pallets support PPWR reuse requirements.

• The role of reusable systems in reducing packaging waste and driving circularity.

• Operational and environmental benefits, including cost savings and carbon reduction.

• Why early adoption ensures compliance and positions companies as sustainability leaders.

About the Session

This session will explore the True Cost of Ownership (TCO) for reusable transport packaging systems compared to single-use alternatives. This industry expert panel will discuss their experiences of hidden costs embedded in linear packaging models and how reusable systems can unlock long-term savings and strategic advantages.

About the Session

A dynamic Q&A with Steven Van Hoof, VP of Engineering at Sensolus. We will discuss how global companies are transforming their supply chains with real-time visibility, actionable insights, and measurable ROI including real-world customer stories illustrating the impact of our asset tracking technology.

About the Session

Most companies don’t need more packaging, they need smarter systems. Discover how GPOs are transforming the packaging cube into a strategic engine for cost savings, operational resilience, and measurable ESG impact.

About the Session

The economics of pallet wrapping have fundamentally changed. With EPR fees driving costs higher, single-use stretch film is now a costly liability. One unit Green Spider reusable pallet wrap replaces up to 750 pounds of plastic, directly reducing EPR fee exposure while slashing emissions and waste. The ROI is compelling—wraps pay for themselves hundreds of times over. Speakers Patrick Owens and Jessie Jia will show how reusable wraps scale profitably, delivering cost savings, sustainability, and regulatory relief.

About the Session

Seven U.S. states have passed laws establishing extended producer responsibility (EPR) for packaging, and many more states are considering the same. A core component of EPR is the assessment of a fee for single-use packaging, whereas systems of reuse or refill can be exempt and offer cost-savings.This panel discussion tackles the EPR concept for packaging, explores the current state of EPR policies and programs, and examines the opportunities for reusable packaging under varying EPR schemes.

About the Session
