PPWR Masterclass

How can your organization prepare for PPWR and turn compliance into a cost opportunity?

On May 28th, ImpactBuying is hosting an intimate PPWR Masterclass.

During this half-day session, we will take a deep dive into the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and what it means for your organization. As requirements evolve across the EU, companies must rethink how they manage packaging data, supplier documentation, and recyclability performance.

PPWR is not just a compliance exercise. It will directly impact cost structures, packaging design and supplier collaboration.

This masterclass brings together retailers, producers, and industry experts to provide practical guidance on how to prepare efficiently, reduce risk, and identify cost-saving opportunities.

What will you learn?

• The impact of PPWR on packaging strategy, cost structures, and operations
• Key regulatory requirements and timelines from 2026 to 2040
• How EPR fees and recyclability requirements affect your cost exposure
• The importance of supplier data, documentation, and verification
• Practical steps to build a PPWR-ready packaging dataset
• How to identify packaging optimization and cost-saving opportunities

Why attend?

• Understand your current level of PPWR readiness
• Identify risks and cost exposure within your packaging portfolio

• Exchange experiences with peers facing similar challenges
