About the webinar

The new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) introduces significant changes for businesses across Europe. From recyclability requirements and recycled content targets to extended producer responsibility (EPR) and extensive reporting obligations – companies must adapt their processes across the packaging value chain.

Against this background, experts from the RIGK network present practical strategies for industry, commerce, and agriculture – from the take-back and licensing of packaging, through PPWR consulting service, to certification and the procurement of high-quality recyclates by plastship in new applications.
