• Presentation of the material and personal scope of application of the PPWR 

• Explanation of the various sustainability and labelling requirements 

• Assignment of specific regulatory obligations to the relevant roles 

• Overview of forthcoming changes in Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) 

• Timeline for the implementation of obligations 

In this seminar, you will receive an overview of the entire PPWR and its practical implications. The seminar provides you with the essential fundamental structures and key concepts for dealing with the PPWR, enabling you to correctly allocate the new obligations. Additionally, existing legal uncertainties and the timeline aspects of the PPWR will be highlighted, ensuring that these are factored into your implementation planning. 

The seminar is intended for all professionals involved with packaging and packaged products within their supply and trade chains. This primarily includes manufacturers of packaging materials and empty packaging. However, it also applies equally to manufacturing companies in industry, commerce, and agriculture that package their products. Furthermore, at subsequent distribution levels, all retailers and fulfilment service providers are also covered by the PPWR. 

The seminar will include a structured analysis of the legal text, with the subsequent illustration of specific aspects through the use of hypothetical case studies.
