The exhibition, organized by RX (China), centers on a dedicated forum exploring fiber-based alternatives for everything from meal trays to egg cartons. This shift is driven by a complex set of requirements: packaging must now balance heat and leak resistance with strict halal compliance and emerging food safety standards. Industry heavyweights including GoFood, GrabFood, KFC Indonesia, and McDonald's Indonesia are slated to participate, signaling a high-level corporate commitment to the transition.

WEPSEA 2026 Targets Indonesia’s Sustainable Packaging Shift
As Indonesia’s food sector grapples with tightening environmental regulations and a surge in delivery demand, WEPSEA 2026 is positioning pulp-molded packaging as the primary successor to traditional plastic. The upcoming forum aims to bridge the gap between international material suppliers and the nation’s largest food service brands.
Beyond simple replacement, the event focuses on the technical hurdles of mass-market adoption. Experts emphasize that competitiveness hinges on PFAS-free solutions, cost-efficient automated production, and consistent barrier coating performance. By bringing together pulp producers, machinery manufacturers, and local retailers, the organizers intend to move beyond a standard trade show format to foster direct partnerships and localized supply chains. For global providers, the event serves as a strategic entry point into Indonesia’s rapidly evolving, high-stakes food delivery ecosystem.
