Consumers are demanding their products be more environmentally sustainable—including the packaging. Dietary supplement brands are taking the lead using less packaging, finding more environmentally-friendly materials, and exploring additional recycling opportunities—and even re-use of containers. Innovation and creativity are proving to be critical in responding to consumer demands and setting new benchmarks to follow. It's important to remember, that, in addition, as a regulated category, specific FDA requirements apply because dietary supplement containers are food contact surfaces.

Join us to hear from these experts in the field about how they are navigating the demand for sustainable packaging and practices and maintaining compliance with regulations:

  • Jeff Keithline Partner, Keller & Heckman

  • Nicole Flaherty Senior Manager, Sustainability and Packaging Design, Nestlé Health Science

  • Annika Greve Director, Business Development, North America, Loop
