Conference
Change(K)now! - Reusable Food Packaging Conference
23 October 2026
Description
How can reusable food packaging systems work in practice – and what does it take to make them scalable?
Join us in Denmark for the conference Reusable Food Packaging Systems – European Experiences and Solutions on 23 October 2026. The conference will take place in Albertslund – a municipality located approximately 20 km west of Copenhagen.
At the conference, we will present the results of three years of testing and implementing reusable food packaging systems in real-life settings across Europe.
Municipalities, companies, universities, NGOs and system operators have collaborated in this EU-funded initiative. At the final conference, you will meet the actors driving the transition from single-use to reuse and gain insights from systems tested in public institutions, events, food markets and urban public spaces.
Learn how reusable food packaging systems are being developed and implemented in:
- public catering
- events and festivals
- takeaway and food markets
- strategic initiatives supporting the transition to reuse systems.
Why join the conference?
Join the conference to:
- meet and engage with 28 pilot projects from across Europe
- gain insights into practical experiences, solutions and lessons learned
- connect with municipalities, businesses, operators, researchers and NGOs
- exchange knowledge and perspectives on reusable food packaging systems.
The conference marks the final event of the Change(K)now project, funded by Interreg Baltic Sea Region.
The project is funded by Interreg
