The upcoming EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is set to introduce significant changes for businesses throughout the entire supply chain. As new binding requirements will be effective from 12 August 2026, it is advisable to begin preparations right away. Given the number of new requirements, many retailers, producers and compliance officers simply do not know where to start. In their day-to-day business, many do not have the time to spend days undergoing several lengthy seminars on the EU Packaging Regulation or even travel to in-person workshops.
But there is a simple and practical solution: From 28 May up until the PPWR deadline on 12 August 2026, you can take part in our PPWR Online Workshop Series – hosted by trade-e-bility. Across up to four compact monthly sessions, you will receive a clearly structured overview of the most important changes and how to implement them. You may either choose to participate in all workshops or selectively attend those most relevant to your specific development needs.
The individual training sessions will bring you up to date on the distinct roles and responsibilities across the entire value chain, new documentation and reporting duties, your obligations depending on your country, packaging type and distribution model, as well as labelling, ecodesign and specific compliance regulations – this workshop series will get you ready for the PPWR in no time!
The following events are available:
- 28 May 2026: Roles and responsibilities under the new Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on packaging and packaging waste (definitions, distinction and duties of ‘manufacturers’ and ‘producers’)
- 2 July 2026: Technical documentation/declaration of conformity
- 28 July 2026: Obligations under Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in accordance with Chapter VIII of the PPWR and existing national implementations
- 12 August 2026: What changes from now on? – The PPWR comes into force on 12 August 2026 (so we will compare the current requirements of national packaging laws with the new, immediately applicable PPWR obligations and highlight what companies will need to handle differently from this date onwards.)
