SUMMARY:Engineering PET Beverage Packaging Performance to Unlock Growth
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nPET has become the backbone of modern beverage packaging\, valued for its light weight\, cost efficiency\, and recyclability. Yet as distribution distances lengthen\, climates become harsher\, and product expectations rise\, conventional PET bottles are reaching the limits of their performance. Today\, growth opportunities are emerging across the beverage packaging value chain by engineering PET performance instead of changing packaging platforms.Using real-world examples across carbonated soft drinks\, oxygen-sensitive beverages\, dairy\, and aesthetically driven applications\, this webinar explores how Husky’s technology and PET expertise enable you to: \n\nExpand into new markets\, climates\, and distribution routes\nExtend shelf life and improve carbonation retention\nReduce product loss and waste across complex supply chains\nMeet sustainability goals while remaining recyclable\nCreate premium differentiation through package aesthetics

SUMMARY:Frontline Preparedness for SQF Edition 10
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nSQF Edition 10 introduces several important changes that require sites to move beyond updating procedures and consider how new expectations will be implemented\, demonstrated\, and sustained in day-to-day operations. Preparing effectively requires understanding not only what has changed from Edition 9\, but also what those changes mean in practice. \nThis FSMA Friday session will focus on selected SQF Edition 10 requirements that may require additional preparation\, including Food Safety Culture\, Change Management\, Management Review\, Environmental Monitoring\, CAPA – Corrective & Preventative action and Audit readiness. Using practical examples\, the presentation will explore how sites can translate these requirements into workable programs and objective evidence. \nExamples will include developing a measurable Food Safety Culture Plan\, establishing a structured Change Management process\, strengthening corrective & preventative action with effectiveness verification\, and using risk assessment to ensure an Environmental Monitoring Program is scientifically justified and appropriate for the facility and its hazards. \nThe session is intended to help food manufacturers identify where their existing SQF systems may already meet the intent of Edition 10\, where additional work may be needed\, and how to prioritize readiness activities ahead of their next SQF audit.
