BOPS Academy 2026 is a unique meeting for stakeholders from across the packaging value chain, taking place
in Warsaw on 1 October. The event will bring together producers of virgin and circular polymers, plastics converters, packaging manufacturers, printing companies, brand owners and industry experts to discuss the future of packaging
in a circular economy.

The programme will focus on two key areas: materials architecture, including the evolving landscape of raw materials and material solutions for sustainable packaging; and ecodesign, which enables solutions that meet both environmental requirements and market expectations. Expert presentations and interactive panel discussions will provide a forum for sharing knowledge, experience and perspectives among key market participants.

The conference will have an international dimension, bringing together experts and participants from Poland and abroad. Simultaneous Polish-English interpretation will enable everyone to take an active part in the discussions and exchange experience, regardless of language.

This is an excellent opportunity to discover the latest trends and innovations, build valuable business relationships and play an active role in shaping the future of the packaging industry.

Key themes

The packaging value chain:
four key perspectives

We trace the full journey of circular packaging:
from designing the material structure,
through the challenges faced by converters,
to viewing the final product through the customer’s eyes at the
retail shelf.

Packaging materials architecture

Monomaterial polyolefin structures in practice; mechanical and chemical recycling; MoReTec advanced technology; and mass balance across the value chain. Who will gain access to recyclate, when and where?

View sessions in the agenda

Ecodesign laboratory

Designing polymer packaging for circularity; the impact of printing and raw material selection on recyclate; and packaging innovation across industries.

View sessions in the agenda

The role of virgin and circular polymers: can recyclate catch up with virgin material?

The future of PP and PE in the PPWR era and amid growing environmental pressure. An expert debate on technology challenges, the availability of secondary raw materials and realistic directions for industry development.

Panel discussion

PPWR in practice: challenges and opportunities

How can we work together to achieve circularity goals across an integrated value chain? A constructive discussion among raw material producers, converters, the food industry and retailers on investment and partnership.
