WEBINAR: Analytical Testing, Conformity Assessment and Regulatory Strategies for Recycled Plastics Tue, 24 November 2026 | 10:00 EST | 15:00 GMT | 16:00 CET | 20:30 IST
The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is set to transform packaging requirements across the EU, introducing new expectations around recyclability, recycled content, substances of concern, and the safety of packaging materials. At the same time, increasing scrutiny of PFAS, heavy metals, and other regulated chemicals is creating new challenges for manufacturers, brand owners, converters, retailers, and packaging suppliers across all packaging formats.
This webinar provides a practical overview of the PPWR, what it means for your business, and the key milestones organizations need to be aware of as implementation deadlines approach. Our experts will explore how regulatory requirements are evolving, including restrictions and reporting expectations related to heavy metals, PFAS for food contact, and other substances of concern, and how these developments may impact packaging design, material selection, sourcing strategies, and compliance programs.
Attendees will gain insight into the analytical testing and conformity assessment approaches that can help demonstrate compliance, support due diligence efforts, and reduce supply chain risk. The session will cover testing strategies for recycled plastics and other packaging materials, including heavy metal content, PFAS screening, analysis of contaminants such as Bisphenols, and verification of regulatory requirements.
Whether you manufacture, specify, source, or place packaging on the market, this webinar will provide a clear understanding of the actions needed today to prepare for a PPWR-compliant future while maintaining product safety, quality, and market access.
Key topics include:
- What is the PPWR and who does it affect?
- Key PPWR requirements, timelines, and compliance milestones
- Recycled content verification
- Conformity assessment and supporting technical documentation
- Testing and screening strategies for packaging materials
- Heavy metals and Chrome 6: evolving regulatory expectations
