As consumers and regulators place greater focus on environmental pollution and supply chain transparency, manufacturers and retailers selling food contact materials and articles (FCMs) must develop a deeper understanding of the factors influencing market access, regulatory compliance and customer trust.
During Food Contact Materials Month, our experts will take an in-depth look at topics of critical importance to FCM stakeholders, exploring the challenges and opportunities arising from a rapidly evolving global regulatory landscape. Participants will gain insights into the benefits of achieving the highest standards of quality, compliance and sustainability across key global and emerging markets.
Throughout June, we will host five complimentary webinars: four focused on regional FCM requirements and one dedicated to sustainability, addressing recycling challenges, reuse and environmental claims.
