Panellists from AMWAY, Colgate Palmolive, Mondelez, and government bodies will lead discussions on recyclability, returnable packaging, and tackling greenwashing.

Supported by leading industry associations and visited by key buyers from brands like Zomato, Haldiram’s, Patanjali, and Varun Beverages, PackPlus 2025 is poised to drive dialogue and innovation across India's growing packaging ecosystem.
