So proud of our fearless leader and representing Australia and New Zealand on stage today at the Sustainable Packaging Summit in Utrecht. We all know she is good on her feet and fights passionately for the industry, however when the announcer called out 'and representing Australia and New Zealand' Kellie Northwood (GAICD) even took a pause. Congratulations, you did us proud as you called out the impossibility for success when we implement regulation for regulations sake, as well as the need for harmonisation and industry involvement at every step of the way across packaging sustainability.

Plockmatic Group raised the bar with collaboration and interactivity. Watching Kellie Northwood (GAICD) operate machinery did give us all a pause, however she was very proud that she ‘made a box’. Excellent tour and education across the wonderful work of embellishments and bringing the world to life. Thank you to everyone from the Plockmatic Group team - the personalized design of our trip was next unexpected detail and humbling for us all.
