Benjamin Foster, President & Founder of Fosterra, will be a featured speaker at the conference, where he will share strategies for cutting carbon emissions, managing contract manufacturing risks, and applying practical solutions for building a more sustainable, resilient supply chain. Additionally, he will highlight how CPG companies can integrate sustainability while meeting evolving regulatory demands. “We are excited to share our PRDB with attendees at the Sustainable Supply Chain Exhibition,” said Mr. Foster. “This comprehensive tool simplifies the complex landscape of packaging regulations, offering businesses access to country-level and state-specific rules worldwide. By enabling companies to efficiently navigate compliance, PRDB supports both sustainability and operational success.”

PRDB: A Strategic Tool for CPG Companies

As packaging regulations continue to evolve across markets and materials, compliance has become a significant challenge for CPG companies. Fosterra’s PRDB is a curated, data-driven solution that streamlines compliance tracking, helping companies reduce risks while optimizing packaging strategies.

Key features of PRDB include:

• Comprehensive Regulatory Insights – Covering over 200 regulations from 28 European countries and all 50 U.S. states to provide a centralized resource for tracking critical packaging mandates.

• Categorization & Analysis – Each regulation is evaluated based on its impact on packaging materials, labeling, and recycling requirements, allowing businesses to proactively manage compliance.

• Risk Mitigation Strategies – PRDB services deliver tailored action plans to help companies address regulatory challenges and adopt best practices across multiple markets.

• Resource Efficiency – Midsized and smaller businesses often lack the bandwidth to monitor regulatory changes globally. PRDB significantly reduces the need for extensive internal research, ensuring companies stay ahead of compliance shifts.

Driving Sustainability and Innovation

Beyond compliance, PRDB plays a critical role in supporting sustainable packaging innovation. By centralizing regulatory knowledge, companies can make informed decisions about material choices, lifecycle impacts, and waste reduction strategies. Fosterra’s approach aligns with broader industry goals of promoting a circular economy and reducing environmental footprints.

At the Sustainable Supply Chain Exhibition, Fosterra’s participation will underscore the importance of integrating green technologies into supply chains. By equipping businesses with the right tools to navigate regulatory landscapes, Fosterra is driving actionable change towards more resilient and sustainable packaging solutions.
