Lifelong learning in the world of flexible packaging

InnoTalk Logo

The Inno-Talk Community complements the familiar offering

At a time when the packaging industry is developing and changing rapidly, lifelong learning is an indispensable success factor. At Innoform, we recognise the importance of the continuous exchange of knowledge and have therefore created a platform that brings together experts and interested parties – InnoTalk.

Inno-Talk: More than webinars and seminars for flexpack professionals

Our innovative webseminars and seminars provide the perfect opportunity to keep up to date with the latest developments in the world of flexible packaging. We address crucial topics such as migration, compliance work and barrier films to give you the knowledge and tools to stay successful. Discover how to develop sustainable packaging solutions without neglecting food safety requirements or environmental standards.

The importance of lifelong learning

In an industry where technology and regulations are constantly evolving, it is essential to keep learning. Whether it’s in recycling and sustainability or the latest plastic solutions, lifelong learning enables professionals to meet the demands of an increasingly competitive market.

Moving forward together through the Inno-Talk community

At Inno-Talk, we have created a growing community that specialises in sharing expertise around film packaging, flexpack, and food packaging. Our community brings together experts from different areas along the flexpack supply chain to learn from each other, share ideas and move forward together. The learning never stops, and the support of an engaged community helps to actively shape change in the packaging industry.

Chemical recycling & mass balance – The key to food grade?

Friday, 19. June 2026 – Start 13:30

With the PPWR targets for 2030, the use of recycled materials will become mandatory even for materials intended for food contact; however, mechanical recycling in this sector often faces regulatory constraints. In this Inno-Talk, we examine the current situation in the EU regarding the recognition of the mass balance method (‘Fuel Use Exempt’) and analyse whether chemical recycling capacities in Europe will be expanded in time to effectively close the gap in legally compliant food-grade packaging.

Retortable mono-material lamimates – Barrier is key

Friday, 18. September 2026 – Start 13:30

The development of recyclable, high-performance packaging solutions is one of the central challenges facing the flexible packaging industry. In particular, retort applications demand materials that can withstand extreme thermal and mechanical stress while maintaining product safety, shelf life, and quality.
Mono-material laminates are widely regarded as a promising pathway toward improved recyclability. However, achieving the necessary barrier properties for sterilization processes remains a critical hurdle. The interplay between oxygen, moisture, and aroma barriers—combined with the impact of retort conditions—requires in-depth material understanding and innovative design strategies.
This Inno-Talk brings together industry experts to explore the latest developments in retortable mono-material laminates. The focus is on practical solutions, material innovations, and realistic pathways to combine recyclability with high barrier performance.
Participants will gain insights into:

– Current material solutions and their limitations
– The role of barrier layers and coatings in mono-material structures
– Market trends and regulatory drivers shaping future developments

Join us for a focused exchange of ideas, experience, and practical approaches to one of the most demanding applications in flexible packaging.
