Navigating EU PPWR: Practical Testing & Compliance Solutions

Regulation (EU) 2025/40, the new European Union (EU) Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, represents one of the most significant packaging compliance shifts in decades. With mandatory requirements replacing voluntary guidelines and enforcement for substances of concern and PFAS starting in August 2026, organizations must rapidly transition from awareness to implementation.

This expert-led webinar provides clear, practical guidance on how to evaluate packaging against PPWR requirements using targeted testing, recyclability assessments, minimization‑focused transit testing and strong technical documentation. You will learn how our global packaging testing network helps brands and manufacturers identify compliance gaps, verify recyclability performance and prepare declaration of conformity (DoC) packages that meet EU expectations.

Whether you manage packaging sustainability, quality, compliance or supply chain operations, this session delivers actionable steps to support EU market access under the evolving regulatory framework.
