UK Circular Plastics Network have a stand (K31) within the Ecopack area of the show on which we will have experts you can seek advice from about your innovation (ask us about funding, partners, markets, how to engage with a circular supply chain and more).
Additionally, Innovate UK and KTN will be running 1-2-1 help sessions from our ‘help booths’ on a number of topics including applying for the Smart Sustainable Plastic Packaging funding competition which is now open. Attendees can simply visit the stand to book their 1-2-1 session.
Talks about Funding

Packaging Innovations are seeking companies for their start-up village feature:
If you are a start-up, Packaging Innovations are also offering the chance to exhibit for free within the Start-Up Village which is supported by UK Research and Innovation. Up to ten companies will be selected to demonstrate their offering during the two days of the show from their own booth. The space will include a table, two chairs, power and your logo/branding featured on the artwork. Your involvement in the Start-Up Village will be published in the run-up to the event via social media and email marketing campaigns as well as being featured in the printed show guide, so it’s a great chance to gain exposure, networking and to push your innovation forward.
Please note: if your solution is sustainability or circular economy related you will also be entered into the running for The Ecopack challenge for a chance to work with M&S on developing your innovation.
