EVENT
The ABRE Forum on Sustainability in Packaging and Consumption, which will take place on April 15th and 16th, 2026, in a 100% in-person format, is consolidating itself as the main meeting point for executives in the packaging, consumer, and circularity supply chain to discuss experiences, outline scenarios, explore case studies, and adapt their business vision to the new demands for circularity in the consumer supply chain, in Brazil and Europe.
New demands and compelling goals for circularity in the consumer supply and packaging chain are arriving in parallel with a challenging market moment.
The ABRE Forum on Sustainability in Packaging and Consumption will bring together key stakeholders from across the production and revaluation sectors, government representatives, and international leaders to discuss, inspire, and chart paths in the face of the challenges of truly advancing circularity.
Over two days offering unique and strategic connections between different stakeholders, the rich discussions at the ABRE Sustainability Forum raise important questions and shed light on how this agenda impacts brands' businesses.
• Case studies of companies that are moving forward with an eye on future risks;
• How systemic approaches and collaborative partnerships benefit all parties, reducing costs and accelerating processes and solutions;
• What is the vision of the public sector, cooperatives, and different stakeholders;
• Where is packaging technology heading and what are the drivers that the market is prioritizing?
• And in particular, what can we understand and anticipate from the European experience in the maturation of this agenda, its commitments, challenges, and demands to redefine the approach to business and packaging.

ABRE – Brazilian Packaging Association, founded in 1967, was born to be a reference and the connection between different links that make up the Brazilian packaging ecosystem. Just like the packaging, the Association has evolved over these 58 years and has followed the wishes and needs of consumers. On our work agenda are themes such as circular economy, sustainability, innovation, new business models, technology, digitization, education, among others. Through various actions, we present to our associates and the packaging and consumer goods chain the main economic, social and cultural movements promoting the dissemination of knowledge and the importance of packaging in modern society. Among our pillars are Transparency, Sustainability and Protagonism. This is how we open the doors to innovation and evolution in the Brazilian packaging ecosystem: encouraging our companies and professionals to play a leading role, fostering more sustainable business models and building transparent relationships.
