AIP State of Industry Webinar: Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)
Add to Calendar
The Australasian Institute of Packaging (AIP) will be holding a State of Industry Webinar on the EU PPWR on Wednesday the 17th of September for all of industry to attend.
The European Union Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) officially entered into force on 11 February 2025, replacing the Packaging Directive (Directive 94/62/EC).
The Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) aims to:
• Reduce packaging waste by 15% per person in each Member State by 2040, compared to 2018 levels. This will be achieved, for example, by cutting down on unnecessary packaging, especially single-use and overpackaged items;
• Make packaging fully recyclable by 2030, with specific rules and criteria to enhance recyclability of different materials;
• Promote reuse or refill by requiring companies to offer a portion of their products, such as takeaway drinks and meals, in reusable or refillable packaging; and
• Standardise packaging formats and improve labelling of reusable packaging making it easier for consumers to make more sustainable choices.
In addition, there will be eco-modulated Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) fees based on recyclability. These rules and targets apply to all packaged products sold in the EU. If you export your products to Europe then you need to know about the PPWR.
This webinar will provide an update on the PPWR and enable attendees to walk away with a basic toolkit for implementation and next steps. Circular Analytics are one of the leading experts in PPWR for packaging designers and technologists so this is a not-to-be-missed webinar.

• Be introduced to the PPWR regulatory framework and its key provisions.
