On 26 May 2026, our sister project EOilÉ will host an engaging online workshop titled “The Power of Everyday Decisions: A New Vision for Sustainability.” The event will bring together experts from policy, industry, and civil society to examine the real impact of the packaging we use every day, and the innovative solutions being developed to improve it.
The workshop is built around a powerful idea: when citizens understand the real impact of the packaging, they use daily, and the safer, biodegradable alternatives being developed to replace it, they are empowered to make better choices.
Participants will discover how biodegradable materials and new design approaches can reduce environmental harm while maintaining high standards of safety and performance.
What the Workshop Will Explore
The session will bring together experts from the European Commission (DG Environment and DG Health and Food Safety), the founder of the Plastic Soup Foundation, and partners and industry experts from NOVAMONT, OIMO, and GAIKER.
The discussion will explore key aspects of sustainable packaging, including:
- The safety of plastic materials used in contact with food and cosmetics
- The innovations eoilé is developing around biodegradable polymer solutions for monodose packaging
- How to better understand the credibility of sustainability labels, including what they mean, what information they provide, and whether they are recognised at eu level
The workshop aims to create an open and accessible discussion connecting sustainability, innovation, policy, and consumer awareness.
Join the Conversation
The event is free and open to all, whether you are a professional, researcher, policymaker, or simply interested in sustainability.
