23rd Fastmarkets Forest Products International Containerboard Conference 2023
It’s been another rollercoaster year for the packaging industry. From the e-commerce boom fuelled by the pandemic, and the global disruption to supply chains following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the industry has weathered an almost unprecedented series of highs and lows. Add to that the recent slump in prices resulting from suppressed demand, a high inflationary environment and cost pressures and a wave of new capacity set to come online in the Fall. How will all this play out? Are there any silver linings? What does it mean for packaging and where are the opportunities? Join us to hear from industry leaders, Fastmarkets experts as we dissect the critical issues facing the containerboard industry.
