We are pleased to announce that the Circular Packaging Challenge returns in 2026 with a new edition full of opportunities for startups and innovative packaging solutions.
Following the success of previous editions, the challenge promoted by TheCircularLab – Ecoembes will once again connect start-ups with real industry challenges, fostering open collaboration and the development of solutions that accelerate the transition towards more circular and sustainable packaging models.
The Circular Packaging Challenge has established itself as a platform to identify, showcase and scale innovative proposals in areas such as eco-design, new materials, reuse systems, recyclability, packaging digitalisation and circular business models.
In this 2026 edition, specific challenges aligned with current sector needs will be launched, offering start-ups the opportunity to validate their solutions in a real industrial environment and connect with strategic players across the ecosystem.
More details on the specific challenges, timeline and participation process will be shared very soon.
Stay tuned to discover the new challenges that will be launched shortly.
