Join our hands-on workshop on the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), which comes into effect on 12 August 2026. This session is ideal for professionals managing packaging compliance in one or more EU Member States, or anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the upcoming changes.
As the PPWR starts to reshape packaging rules across the EU, many companies are asking key questions about harmonization, national implementation, and what it means for their compliance obligations. In this workshop, you’ll gain practical insights and the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.
Why Attend?
This workshop will equip you with practical knowledge to navigate the regulatory landscape and prepare your organization for upcoming deadlines and requirements, deep diving on specific topics like EPR and labelling obligations.
Topics of the day
- Introduction and updates on PPWR – an introduction for all levels from “I don’t know anything about PPWR” to “I’ve already started working on it”
- From compliance to reality – understanding common pain points and how to tackle them
- Harmonization vs national choices – a deep dive on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations and labelling requirements
- How to go from uncertainty to action – practical next steps for how to get started in your organization, and how to navigate the known challenges and unknown requirements
Learn how to navigate the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) with confidence. This workshop cuts through the complexity to reveal the critical deadlines and transitional provisions you need to know, clarifies what's harmonized across the EU versus what remains under national control, and equips you with actionable strategies to prepare for the August 2026 implementation date. We'll unpack cross-border compliance challenges, explain how the expanded scope, now including B2B transport packaging, reshapes your obligations, and define exactly who qualifies as a manufacturer or producer under the new definitions.
We look forward to welcoming you to this valuable opportunity to prepare for PPWR implementation and to engage with peers facing similar challenges.
