November began with Pack Expo 2024 in Chicago, US. We attended the event and spoke to major packaging companies about their latest products, and discussed the central theme of this year’s show — medical packaging. Also, the final negotiation round for a UN Global Plastic Treaty was launched, with delegates from countries with opposing interests debating how the treaty should be framed and imposed. Among this month’s key developments, we look at some of the hottest topics, market dynamics and trends while speaking to some of the most prominent players in the industry.
