Join FBEC on a behind the scenes tour of the Garlock Printing & Converting facility in Reno!  A manufacturer of packaging for the largest fresh produce companies in America, the plant is nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountains alongside the Truckee River. Garlock is a leading developer of sustainable packaging for the fresh produce, snacks and frozen foods industry. The state of the art facility features a Plate Mounting department, Flexographic Presses, Laminators, Micro Perf Machines, Slitting Rewinders and a Quality Lab. From an environmental standpoint, the plant collects and eliminates solvent vapor generated while printing, and also recycles and reuses over 700 drums of spent liquid solvent per year that would otherwise be disposed of. Garlock also has a sustainability program and has significantly reduced their electricity use by installing LED lighting in the production and warehouse areas.

The $100 fee includes transportation for the technical tour.

The community event during FBEC is historically an opportunity for attendees to join together and give back through a local service project that supports networking amongst participants. This year’s event includes the following:

Help the Tahoe Science Center prepare for the Science Expo:

1. 1. Putting together passports for all the students
   2. Creating a tree of life
   3. Cleaning aquariums
   4. Measuring out specific quantities of materials for different life and health science activities
   5. Create planter boxes for garden

This event also includes a tour of the Tahoe Science Center to understand the current work and history research UC Davis TERC has been performing in the basin since the late 1960s. Participants will get to play an interactive role through being a part of a focus group that evaluates the center’s augmented reality app.

Inspired by the increasing number of women attendees, FBEC 2023 is honored to host a women’s networking event, sponsored by PepsiCo for female food industry environmental professionals to connect and network. Additional details are in development, check back for an update in the coming weeks.
