Creating Change

The world is changing around us and it is moving ever faster. But what hides behind the transition? And how can we create the changes that we desire?

In honor of the International Women's Day, Fempack invites you to take part in understanding how and why change happens.

We will have inspiring speakers, sharing their stories. We will also talk about the understanding of users needs and behavior. You will take part in a workshop giving a tool for networking with incentives. 

About fempack

We launched Fempack by Packbridge, a network for professional women in the packaging value chain, on December 14, 2016. It happened straight after our major annual Conference the Top Packaging Summit by Packbridge, where a bottom-up initiate evolved – WE NEED MORE WOMEN in the industry! As it was a missing part of our platform, our response was fast – we started a network for women in order to bridge the gap.

All you need to know

Our aim is to create events and activities that put you and your needs in the centre.

Cathrine Löfgren
Project Manager Sustainability @ RISE

Agile legislation - the mechanism behind the European Packaging Market Revolution

New EU legislation is transforming the packaging market. Waste directives are being re-evaluated in all EU countries and already 2021 a ban will be placed on single-use plastic. Miljöpack, headed by Cathrine Löfgren, is monitoring regulation development and lobbying for resource-efficient packaging. There is no doubt that the EU is changing the packaging market to become more circular but how did these changes come into being? And what will happen next?

Cathrine Löfgren

Cathrine has more than 15 years experience of sustainability in the entire packaging value chain and is now heading the trade and industry group Miljöpack.
