Far from mere spectators, those participating in the event will enjoy a truly interactive experience. Attendees will have their own avatars, and be free to discover the cyber-environment and interact with others throughout the virtual exhibit space.

The setup is ideal to explore the wide array of materials science capabilities TekniPlex Consumer Products brings to the food & beverage sector. The event also will feature two keynote speakers:
1:30–2:30pm: Suzanne Shelton, President & CEO of Shelton Group, a leading ESG marketing and communications agency, will present Sustainability Drivers in the Packaging Market.
2:30–3:30pm: Joel Morales, Executive Director, Polyolefins for IHS Index, presents Resin Trends in the Market.

- Processor Trays for Fresh Protein
