On March 18, 2021, from 17:00 to 18:00 CEST, the Food Packaging Forum will hold the first webinar within its Spring 2021 series titled “Putting the EU Chemical Strategy for Sustainability (CSS) into action: Challenges and opportunities for Food Contact Materials (FCMs).” This first webinar will set the scene for understanding how the CSS provides opportunities for improving FCMs as well as the challenges that might need to be overcome.

It will feature two presentations from Prof. Terry Collins of Carnegie Mellon University and Prof. Martin Scheringer of ETH Zürich and Masaryk University. Prof. Collins will present on “Safe and Sustainable Chemistry – A history and recommendations for implementing the CSS” and Prof. Scheringer’s talk will address “Hazardous Chemicals – An overview and focus on how the CSS addresses the issue.” The presentations will be followed by an open discussion session with the audience, including the opportunity to ask questions.
