The Emirates Environmental Group will organise a high-level panel discussion titled “Decarbonising Packaging: Life Cycle Assessment, Carbon Footprint, Innovation, and Climate Neutral Strategies” on 29 April 2026 from 09:00 AM to 12:30 PM at Holiday Inn & Suites Dubai Science Park. This event will bring together experts from government, the private sector, international organisations, and academia to discuss sustainable practices and collaborative climate action in the packaging industry.

Dr. Habiba Al Mar’ashi, Co-Founder & Chairperson of Emirates Environmental Group, emphasized that the session will be a dynamic platform for dialogue, knowledge sharing, and intellectual engagement. The panel will cover opportunities to develop low-carbon packaging ecosystems through life cycle assessment, reducing carbon footprints, implementing climate-neutral strategies, and exploring innovative materials and technologies.

Attendees will also learn about real-world case studies, policy insights, and best practices supporting the transition of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region toward circular, resource-efficient, and climate-smart economies. The panel aims to encourage broader participation from policymakers, business leaders, researchers, and sustainability advocates who are committed to responsible innovation and environmental stewardship.

The session promises to be a significant contribution to the growing global conversation about sustainable packaging, providing valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities for decarbonising packaging and achieving long-term climate goals. As packaging continues to be a major contributor to global emissions, the event will highlight actionable steps that can be taken to reduce carbon footprints across the entire supply chain.

This panel is expected to foster collaboration between key stakeholders in the industry, helping to accelerate the adoption of sustainable practices and innovative technologies that contribute to a low-carbon, climate-neutral future for packaging. The session will underscore the importance of creating resilient and eco-friendly packaging solutions that not only meet consumer demands but also align with global environmental goals. By examining both the technological and policy-driven solutions to sustainable packaging, the panel will highlight how industries can drive innovation while staying committed to reducing their environmental impact.

As the packaging industry faces increasing pressure from governments, consumers, and environmental groups to take greater responsibility for its carbon emissions, the insights shared at this event will be crucial in shaping the future of packaging sustainability. The panel will also serve as a catalyst for future partnerships, collaborations, and initiatives aimed at further reducing packaging's carbon footprint and fostering an environmentally responsible industry.
