Annual Members Meeting 2015: Into the future of packaging materials
NVC was founded in 1953, so this AMM on November 26th will be dedicated to our 62nd anniversary. This year our host is the Continium Experience Centre Kerkrade, with its adjacent brandnew Cube Design Museum and amazing Columbus Earth Theatre.
The members-only part of the meeting starts at 2 PM and is only accessible for NVC-members.
The Open Meeting starts at 4 PM and is focusing on The future of packaging materials. Where and when will these materials interact and how do we optimise the synergy in their future applications? How do we secure a responsible supply of safe packaging materials, taking all the future recycling and renewing technologies into account? These questions will be addressed in the interactive programme, providing insights in the main packaging materials and a range of interactive work-outs addressing their common future. Both parts of this event are free of charge.
