Unboxing EPR & PPWR: The Climate Implications of Packaging Regulation

Packaging isn’t just about shelf appeal anymore; it’s a regulatory, environmental, and strategic imperative. From Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) to the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), a wave of new legislation is transforming the role of packaging. For consumer brands, these evolving rules bring rising pressure but also a critical opportunity to lead with smarter, more sustainable choices.

From recyclability and labeling requirements to lifecycle emissions and material sourcing, navigating the intersection of compliance, carbon, and circularity is no small feat.

In this webinar, Zevero and Ecosurety will break down the key packaging regulations across the UK, EU, and beyond. You’ll learn how forward-thinking brands are adapting, what to expect next, and how to align your packaging decisions with both compliance and climate goals.

You’ll learn:

✔️ What latest packaging regulations mean for your brand

✔️ How to connect compliance, sustainability, and procurement strategies

✔️ The link between packaging choices and carbon emissions

✔️ Real-world insights from a brand that recently overhauled its packaging strategy

Whether you’re in sustainability, packaging, or procurement, this session will equip you with the clarity to move forward and the foresight to stay ahead. Register now to save your spot!
