Understanding the PPWR: An overview and implementation requirements from 12 August
The demands on sustainable packaging are constantly increasing – not least due to the new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and the growing expectations of brands, retailers and consumers. But what role do labels and adhesive materials play in the recyclability and sustainability of packaging?
In our webinar, you will first receive a general overview of the PPWR:
- Overview of the PPWR and its objectives
- Key milestones and deadlines up to 2030 and beyond
- Requirements regarding recyclability and the use of recycled content (PCR)
- Impact on packaging design and labelling
- Reusable packaging requirements for transport packaging
- New EU labelling and recycling icons
- Practical implications for businesses and initial implementation steps
In addition, we provide an overview of the next steps in the EU Packaging Regulation (PPWR). With a view to 12 August 2026, when the Regulation comes into force, we highlight the requirements that businesses will face and the measures that should be put in place now. This will give you valuable guidance on how to adapt your packaging and labelling strategies to the new regulatory framework at an early stage.
