The Sustainable Flexo Symposium will take place May 5–6, 2026 at Follmann Technology & Knowledge Centre in Minden, Germany. The event will demonstrate — with live printing — how modern, automated CI flexographic printing delivers con- sistent, gravure-level results on recycled and mono-mate- rial substrates. The two-half day English-language event will bring to- gether leading technology partners from across the flexo value chain. There, they will present a fully integrated, auto- mation-driven workflow for sustainable flexible packaging. The symposium will feature live CI flexo production at Allstein in Herford using water-based inks. Europe’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is accelerating the shift toward circular materials and higher recycled content. Meanwhile, converters and brand owners are seeking production-ready solutions ca- pable of ensuring stability and repeatability. Packaging producers are increasingly incorporating PCR content, thinner materials and mono-material designs into their products. Therefore, converters are facing in- creasing demands in process stability, color consistency, and print quality. The symposium will also present CI flex- ography as a production-ready process capable of deliv-

The program will bring together suppliers across the flexo ecosystem—prepress, plates, inks, substrates, anilox, inspection and press automation. They include Esko, Asa- hi Photoproducts, Follmann, Pamarco, PetroPlast, OCS, Tesa and Allstein.
