The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation has been in force since early 2025 and will fully enter the implementation stage from August 2026. Looking ahead to 2030, companies will have to meet requirements ranging from minimum reuse rates and recycled content requirements to recyclability classifications, material composition, and the phasing out of certain chemicals or packaging formats.
This session acts as a pragmatic check point. We’ll assess the state of progress and reflect on what’s needed to be ready for the short- and long-term checkpoints.
- Essential requirements and timelines for implementation: who is responsible for what, when?
A practical overview of phased deadlines through 2030 and beyond, the data companies must collect now, and the critical 5-year requirements to start preparing for today - Business impact, strategic outlook: building infrastructure for smart compliance We’ll look at the dual focus needed for PPWR readiness:
- Supply chain data alignment to track and verify packaging information
- Internal operational alignment to break silos between procurement, R&D, regulatory, and sustainability to embed compliance into daily workflows
