The PPWR takes effect on 12 August 2026! What does it mean for your packaging?

The PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) has been in force since 12 August 2026. This new European law sets stricter requirements for packaging — think recyclability and the use of recycled content. For many food and non-food producers, this raises questions. What needs to change? And what will it cost?

We see opportunities above all. The right choices deliver not only more sustainable packaging, but cost savings too.

On Thursday 3 September, we open our doors in Giessen. During an exclusive seminar, we’ll bring you up to speed on the new legislation and the solutions available.

What you’ll learn:

• 

  What the PPWR means in concrete terms

• 

  Where companies are running into challenges in the transition to more sustainable packaging

• 

  How the fee modulation model works and how to get up to 45% off your waste management fee

• 

  Concrete examples of sustainability solutions and PPWR-proof packaging

• 

  A tour of our renewed production facility and the OPACKGROUP Technology Centre

Who it’s for:

Buyers, packaging sustainability managers, operations and production managers, and technical decision-makers at food and non-food producers.
