and Jérôme Fessard of Verallia argued for the continuing rel-evance of glass as a packaging material. The conference closed with a ‘message in a bottle’ from Martin Jetter.

POSITIVE FEEDBACKFeedback from participants

was positive across the board, with comments such as: ‘…glass is brilliant – we should all fight for it’; ‘Emotions are back in glass!’; ‘Consumers love the brands we deliver,’; ‘Glass is always our favourite… it always fascinates us as the best packaging’; ‘there are

things we can do together, let’s work on it”; ‘glass is like a jewel’.

SPEAKERS AND TOPICS

Matthias Horx – The World 2050, included a series of highly intere-sting questions on … How the next globalization phase will reframe poli-tics, economy and culture, Can/Will the world be a better place, Can the planet feed 10 billion people? and much more.

Klaus W. Wellershoff spoke about the Global Economic Outlook and Trends, listing lessons learned and economic certainties, as well as futu-re trend growth and the probability of recession up to 2019.

The presentation of Leonard Sax spoke about the effect of plastic packaging on the development of young boys and girls, with examples such as dressings, sodas and beve-rages, which are shown to acquire endocrine-disrupting effects, and thus may be linked to an accelerated onset of puberty in girls, and lower testosterone levels in boys.

Karine Dussimon from Euromonitor International discussed the challen-ges and future of glass packaging, which included a global retail packa-ging overview. The overview indica-

one glass consumer, and that spirits continue to have a strong position,

while beer is the pillar but wine and spirits are more dynamic.

Innovation: sources of new growth – more from less, was the title of the presentation from Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, with challenges to face in the 21st century, up to 2050, and what our future will bring us and the next generations.

Christian Roos from IPGR (International Partners in Glass Research), spoke about 21st cen-tury glass … and how to get there, listing improvement and innovation,

with regards to glass strength and forming, asking if we can increase glass strength, and how we can utili-ze it. The last focus was on us – and was sub-titled glass, the environment and society.

Ferdinand Tumpalan of the San Miguel Yamamura Packaging Corporation gave some insights into the South East Asian market compa-ring it to Europe and South America, also providing the production volume of emerging SEA countries, as well as the recovery system of glass,

showing that population growth and demography favour glass.

Anthony Gardner from O-I shared

against PET with his presentation ‘Back and better than ever: leading glass’ resurgence’. The industry and its leaders were challenged to ‘inno-vate at all levels’ and ‘use what we know about things like taste and sustainabitiy to defend against alter-native packaging.’

Speaking about Glass: a sustainable packaging solution, Jérôme Fessard from Verallia showed how glass is a true partner of food safety, with

being recyclable 100%, endlessly and without impairing quality.
