The aim of this panel is to present the main advantages of these packaging materials, their main uses, barriers and opportunities, towards greater Circularity of packaging.

Packaging: Innovation and eco-design as differentiation and success factors
16h00-16h30
The environmental targets announced for Portugal have dictated an urgent need for a paradigm shift in terms of sustainable packaging, in a society where consumers are increasingly concerned about their environmental footprint. It is crucial to rethink packaging throughout the value chain and, in this process, innovation and ecodesign are decisive factors of competitiveness and differentiation for the success of companies.

MIGUEL FIGUEIREDO
KEYNOTE SESSION
INNOVATION IS THE KEY TO PROSPERITY
12.10h – 12.55h
In a world where it is increasingly difficult to find standards of behaviour that guarantee success, an attitude of constant experimentation and adaptation to circumstances becomes critical to survival. And for those who want to go further and achieve excellence, escaping from what everyone else is doing is absolutely mandatory.
In a very unconventional conversation, full of humour, stories, parables, metaphors and even occasional onomatopoeia, Miguel addresses issues such as creativity, risk aversion, beliefs, habits, and, as is in all of us, the ability to accept, manage and lead change.

New Trends in Logistics
13.00h – 13.30h
Moderator: Cesar Castillo, Academic Director ICIL
The world has changed a lot since the start of the pandemic and with all the events that have happened since then. The supply chain is more relevant in generating value for companies, but it is also more subject to changes in the environment. Consumers have also learned a lot during this time. They are more demanding. How can we help from logistics to create value for economies and businesses? Where is logistics heading? Supply chain sustainability, technology, last mile and risk management are a business issue affect an organisation’s supply chain or logistics network in terms of environmental, risk, and waste costs. This requires fully integrated supply networks in which logistics service providers, shippers and authorities cooperate closely. In particular, shippers, as the owners of the goods in transit, play a key role; their decisions on product configuration, after all, determine what transport. How can we imagine the future of the supply chain? What are we doing to improve logistics?

Green logistics: Where are Portuguese operators heading?
15.05h – 15.35h
With an energy crisis already installed after the pandemic disruption, with the need to transform the freight transport sector to become more sustainable, it will be important to understand where Portuguese companies are heading. Are there enough incentives for a green transition? Is there a network missing to see an increasingly sustainable supply chain? What is being done in the first and last mile to reduce emissions?

Sanctions on Russia: The implications for supply chains
15.40h – 16.10h
Moderator: Logistica Moderna
The COVID19 pandemic had already demonstrated that Supply Chains at global level could easily be impacted by unexpected and unlikely events. They laid bare the weaknesses of Value Chains, created in the wake of the globalisation phenomenon: over-dependence on countries like China and India.
At a time when we have not yet fully recovered from the impacts of the Pandemic, a new destabilising factor appears on a global scale: the war resulting from the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. The effects of COVID19 will disappear (they always do), until the next pandemic, those of the current war will take longer, because they are related to geopolitical problems and the competition between the blocks that will lead the 21st century. The West (represented by the USA and Europe), which has been leading, is beginning to feel competition for the first time from another bloc led by China, joined by Russia and now India. Only two of these countries have 2.82 billion inhabitants, about 36% of the world population. Although they have differences that separate them, they are beginning to apply the old adage that my adversary’s adversary is my friend. Despite the efforts of the West, none has openly condemned Russia’s move.
Many of the West’s Supply Chains and Value Chains depend on these countries. Although the dependency is uneven, the truth is that if the Russian gas and oil door is closed, those who buy there will necessarily have to buy from the same places where others buy and as we all know there is no surplus of gas and oil on the international market. But our dependency is not only on energy. It includes other products such as cereals and the so-called rare earths. We also depend on manufacturing centres that have existed in these countries for decades and that cannot be replaced overnight.
All these products and manufacturing centres are essential to our economy. Our Supply Chains and Value Chains will have to adapt to a new and very fluid reality. How can we address these issues to keep the supply chains working?
