What Will Change from Today? – PPWR Goes Live on 12 August 2026This session focuses on the practical changes that will take effect from 12 August 2026, when the new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) becomes applicable. We will compare current requirements under national packaging laws with the new, directly applicable PPWR rules, highlighting what companies must do differently from that date onward.Participants will gain a clear overview of new and extended obligations, including PPWR-specific labeling and marking requirements, Declaration of Conformity and technical documentation duties, recyclability and design-for-recycling rules, and the interaction between PPWR and EPR obligations across Member States.

EPR ObligationsIn this session, we will focus on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations under the PPWR and existing national EPR frameworks. Participants will learn who is responsible for EPR obligations, how producer roles are determined, and how obligations differ depending on the sales model, country, and type of packaging placed on the market.The workshop will provide a practical overview of key EPR requirements, including registration duties, reporting obligations, recycling fees, and ongoing compliance management across EU Member States.

Technical Documentation/Declaration of ConformityThis session focuses on the technical documentation and Declaration of Conformity requirements under the new PPWR. Participants will gain a clear understanding of what documentation is required, when it must be prepared, and who is responsible for it along the supply chain.We will walk through the key elements of PPWR technical documentation, including data sources, structure, and retention obligations, and explain how a compliant Declaration of Conformity should be prepared and maintained.
