SHANGHAI, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Southeast Asia’s food packaging industry

organized by RX (China), will bring together leading industry players to explore
the next phase of market development in Indonesia.

One of the key highlights of the exhibition will be a **"Pulp Molded Packaging as
an Alternative to Plastic Food Packaging"** forum, organized in collaboration with
Indonesia’s leading industry organizations. The event will provide a platform for
brand owners, packaging manufacturers, material suppliers and technology providers
to discuss market opportunities driven by sustainability policies, food contact 
safety requirements and the growing demand for environmentally responsible food 
packaging.

The forum is expected to bring together representatives from Indonesia’s leading
food delivery platforms, quick-service restaurant chains, food manufacturers and
retailers, including **GoFood, GrabFood, KFC Indonesia, McDonald’s Indonesia, HokBen,
Richeese Factory, Kopi Kenangan, Charoen Pokphand Indonesia, Japfa, Indofood, Indomaret
and Alfamart**, alongside local packaging producers and international suppliers.

Indonesia’s food packaging market is entering a new stage of transformation. The
rapid expansion of food delivery services and modern retail continues to increase
demand for packaging solutions that combine grease resistance, leak protection, 
heat resistance and reliable delivery performance. At the same time, evolving environmental
regulations, stricter food contact standards, halal compliance requirements and 
increasing consumer awareness of sustainable packaging are encouraging brand owners
to evaluate alternatives to conventional plastic packaging.

Against this backdrop, molded fiber packaging is emerging as one of the most promising
solutions for takeaway containers, compartment meal trays, fresh produce trays, 
egg cartons, cup carriers and ready-to-eat food applications. However, industry 
experts agree that future competitiveness will depend not only on replacing plastic,
but also on delivering high-performance packaging that meets requirements for food
safety, oil and water resistance, PFAS-free solutions, automated production, cost
efficiency and regulatory compliance.

The forum will also invite leading companies across the fiber-based packaging value
chain, including pulp and paper producers, food-grade paperboard manufacturers, 
barrier coating suppliers, molded fiber equipment manufacturers, tooling companies,
adhesive suppliers, automation specialists and testing organizations. The objective
is to promote direct technical exchanges between international suppliers and Indonesian
packaging manufacturers while accelerating product testing, production line investment
and local partnerships.

For global exhibitors, WEPSEA 2026 offers more than a product showcase. It provides
direct access to Indonesia’s fast-growing food packaging ecosystem, enabling suppliers
to better understand procurement requirements from major brands and identify opportunities
for localization, technology cooperation and long-term business development.

As one of Southeast Asia’s emerging trade platforms for the packaging industry, 
WEPSEA 2026 will bring together packaging materials, converting technologies, machinery
and end-user industries under one roof, creating valuable networking opportunities
across the regional supply chain.

With Indonesia becoming one of the region’s most dynamic markets for sustainable
food packaging, WEPSEA 2026 is expected to serve as a strategic gateway for companies
seeking to expand their presence across Southeast Asia.
