The European regulatory landscape for packaging and food contact materials is undergoing a transformative shift. This timely conference unpacks the implications of the newly adopted Commission Regulation (EU) 2025/351, which imposes more stringent safety and compositional requirements on plastic materials intended for food contact.
It will also delve into the evolving role of Regulation 2020/1616, governing the use of recycled plastics in food packaging, and how industry must adapt to ensure safety and compliance in the circular economy.
A major focus will be the EU Commission’s revisions to the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)—with particular attention to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes, minimum recyclability criteria, and mandatory reuse targets. Of growing concern is how chemical recycling technologies will be evaluated under PPWR’s definition of “recyclable at scale,” a critical factor for market access and investment planning.
This and more in a day-packed conference that brings together the packaging industry, regulators, leaders, legal experts, and sustainability professionals to convene in Dusseldorf, coinciding with K-show.
Conference highlights:
- Current Landscape of EU Recycled Plastics Packaging Regulations
- Recycled content commitments and compliance
- Food contact safety with recycled plastics packaging
- Will recycled pellets meet EU certified standards? and many more
