Let’s Talk About PFAS – A US and Global Conversation will feature Department of Toxic Substances Control, Safer Made, and Avebe U.A.

 Compostable Packaging Solutions: Designing with the System in Mind will explore the opportunities the packaging supply chain has to design with the organics diversion system in mind, so that foodservice operators, consumers, end-users, and composters have the best chance at using compostable packaging to do what it does best - keep wasted food out of landfills. Featuring Eco-Products, BPI, and Compost Manufacturing Alliance.
