Webinar: Understanding the EU Packaging Regulation

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) marks a significant change in how packaging is regulated across the European Union, replacing the previous directive-based framework with directly applicable requirements across EU Member States.

With the PPWR now applicable from August 12, 2026, businesses placing packaging or packaged products on the EU market need to understand both the requirements that apply today and the additional obligations being introduced over the coming years. These requirements affect packaging across materials, formats and supply chains, with responsibilities extending to brands, manufacturers, importers, distributors and other economic operators.

From chemical restrictions and conformity documentation to identification, labelling and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), PPWR introduces important considerations for businesses managing packaging in the EU. Further requirements covering harmonised labelling, recyclability, recycled content, packaging minimisation and reuse will continue to take effect in the years ahead.

Join Intertek experts for a practical overview of the PPWR, what has changed with the transition from the previous directive to the new regulation, and the actions businesses should consider as they manage current compliance and prepare for future requirements.
