The Packaging Recycling Summit 2026, presented by Packaging World, returns June 15–17 at the Loews Chicago O’Hare Hotel in Rosemont, IL. This premier event brings together leaders from across the packaging value chain—including brands, material suppliers, recyclers, MRFs, and policy experts—to explore the innovations, partnerships, and policies driving a more circular future for packaging.
Unlike any other U.S. event, PRS bridges the gap between packaging developers, recyclers, and material innovators. It is the only conference where attendees engage in deep, cross-sector conversations to address design-for-recyclability challenges, align on evolving legislation, and forge business partnerships that lead to real-world impact.
• Brand Owners (CPG, Food & Beverage, Personal Care, Household Products)
• Material Suppliers (plastics, paper, metal, glass, flexible packaging)
• Reprocessors and Recyclers
• Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs)
• Retailers and E-commerce Platforms
• NGOs, Policymakers, and Industry Associations
