PETnology Europe 2025 – Reflections on Our 30^th Conference

Dear Readers,

Thirty conferences, twenty-five years, one common goal: to promote progress and networking throughout the PET packaging value chain. PETnology Europe 2025, held for the second time in the stunning setting of Rapperswil-Jona on the shores of Lake Zurich, was more than a small milestone - it showcased the strength, agility and shared vision of our PET packaging industry.

Spanning two energising days, the PETnology community came together for a dynamic exchange. Shaped around the themes of sustainability, circularity, digitalisation and smart production, the conference programme highlighted how PET continues to evolve in response to shifting consumer expectations, regulatory pressures and technological opportunities.We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the participants and speakers, as well as to our lead sponsor, Otto Hofstetter AG, and our gold sponsors, Husky Technologies, ThyssenKrupp Materials Services and Ultra System.

To everyone who attended, spoke, partnered, and shared their vision: We look forward to continuing the dialogue within the PETnology community as we work together to shape the future of PET packaging —smarter, more sustainable and more connected. We look forward to welcoming you again at PETnology Europe 2026!
