For hospitality, foodservice, and retail operators, choosing the right packaging is no longer just about cost or convenience, it’s about aligning with customer values, meeting regulatory demands, and building a commercially viable, responsible brand.
Responsible Packaging Expo returns to London to help businesses navigate the next wave of innovation in sustainable and compliant packaging. Whether you're an independent café, a national restaurant group, a drinks brand, or a street food trader, this is where the sector comes to rethink how packaging can work harder, for the planet, for the customer, and for the bottom line.
The two-day event showcases forward-thinking suppliers in compostable, recyclable, and reusable solutions, alongside packaging design, materials innovation, labelling, compliance, and logistics. With industry-led talks and panel discussions covering everything from upcoming legislation to lifecycle analysis, circular business models, and reducing operational waste, the content is focused on practical, commercially relevant sustainability.
Responsible Packaging Expo is free to attend and part of the Hospitality B2B Portfolio, giving visitors access to a wider ecosystem of events exploring innovation in foodservice, design, technology, and drinks, all under one roof.
For businesses serious about making packaging a smarter, more sustainable part of their operation, this is the one show that connects purpose with progress.
