The rules for packaging are changing. Are you ready?

The new European regulation on packaging and packaging waste affects almost every company that manufactures, packs, imports or transports something. At the seminar, together with experts, we explained how the rules are changing, who will have which obligations and what needs to start being addressed already now.

The topic is broader than it might seem at first glance. It is not just about technical requirements, but also about a completely new setup of responsibility throughout the supply chain – from the design of the packaging to its reuse or recycling. That is precisely why we examined the individual areas in more detail.

What did we focus on?

• Legal framework – what exactly the new regulation governs and how it differs from the current legislation
• Objectives of the regulation – especially reducing the volume and weight of packaging, supporting recycling and reuse
• Who the regulation applies to – a practical explanation of the types of economic operators
• Key dates – from when which rules will start to apply

For the expert presentation we thank Mária Sadloňová and Katarína Brath Liebscherová from the law firm Eversheds Sutherland and Ľubomír Ďuračka from the Ministry of the Environment of the Slovak Republic.
