SmartSolve is proud to announce that Vidhu Nagpal, Director of Flexible Packaging, will attend this year’s Sustainable Packaging Innovation Forum. The event brings together global sustainability leaders, material innovators, and brand decision-makers to discuss the future of packaging in a circular economy and explore actionable solutions to the industry’s toughest sustainability challenges.
Leading the Conversation on Sustainable Packaging
The Innovation Forum is recognized as a premier platform for advancing packaging innovation. It focuses on scalable, science-driven solutions that help brands meet their sustainability targets while maintaining product performance.
Flexible packaging, while highly versatile and consumer-friendly, remains one of the most difficult formats to recycle or recover. Many traditional recycling systems struggle with mixed-material films, laminated pouches, and small formats, creating high contamination rates and low recovery. For brands committed to sustainability, this presents both a challenge and an opportunity. SmartSolve’s water-soluble and bio-based materials offer a solution by eliminating waste at the source, supporting brands in achieving measurable sustainability impact without compromising functionality or consumer experience.
SmartSolve on the Innovation Forum Podcast
Earlier this year, Vidhu Nagpal and Alex Abbott, SmartSolve’s Chief Revenue Officer, joined the Innovation Forum podcast episode, “Dissolving the Problem: Zero-Waste Solutions for Flexible Packaging.”
In the podcast, they discuss the limitations of traditional recycling streams for flexible formats and explain how innovative substrate design can transform the packaging lifecycle. SmartSolve’s technology demonstrates that it is possible to create flexible packaging that performs, protects, and safely disappears after use, providing brands with a truly sustainable, consumer-friendly option.
