From policy to practice – ensuring paper sack compliance

The new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) introduces far-reaching requirements covering the entire packaging life cycle. From summer 2026, these rules will apply across all EU member states. In this webinar, we will provide an up-to-date overview of the PPWR and its secondary legislation, explain what it means for stakeholders along the paper sack value chain, and show how the industry is working to provide compliant packaging – from food contact safety to recycling performance. Our experts will share practical insights on how to move smoothly from policy to practice. 

Join our live webinar!

This webinar is tailored for producers and users of paper sacks and professionals in product safety, sustainability, packaging, waste management and recycling who want to:

  • navigate confidently from PPWR policies to real-world implementation
  • keep their packaging solutions fully compliant – from design to end-of-life
  • deepen their understanding of food contact regulations and substances of concern
  • contribute to a circular bioeconomy
