PPWR as of 12 August 2026: what does it mean for your packaging?

Exclusive seminar in Giessen | Thursday 26 November 2026


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

We mainly see opportunities. The right choices don’t just lead to more sustainable packaging, they also cut costs.

On Thursday 26 November, we’re opening 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 practice
  • The challenges companies are facing in the transition to more sustainable packaging
  • How the fee differentiation model works and how to get up to 45% off your waste management contribution
  • Real-life examples of sustainable solutions and PPWR-proof packaging
  • A tour of our renovated production facility and the OPACKGROUP Technology Centre
Who should attend:

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

Practical information:
  • Thursday 26 November 2026
  • Oerlemans Plastics, Industrieweg 7, Giessen (NL)
