Environmental issues are very much in the public concern and the Packaging Industry world wide recognises that while contributing to the problem in the form of household packaging waste, the 3-Ps of the industry are, in Asia, of equal concern: Protect, Preserve and Promote the product.

Without proper packaging more than 38% of Asia’s food is spoilt in the supply chain between  farmer and consumer – in many APF member countries Packaging is not a luxury but a necessity.

Asia is home ot more than 60% of the world's population, yet most of the region is still in a state of under-development.  

The sustainability and how Packaging materials, processes, technologies and where they are deployed are of primary significance, and form the central theme of the Asian Packaging Summit.
