Circular Economy and Packaging Recyclability (PPWR)
One day to prepare your packaging for Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on packaging and packaging waste (PPWR), applicable since 12 August 2026 with staggered obligations. Recyclability, recycled content, packaging reduction, substances, reuse, labelling and documentation: you learn what your European customers will ask of you and you assess a range from your site.

Frequently asked questions
Does the PPWR concern a Moroccan company?
The regulation targets packaging placed on the market of the European Union. Your European customers and importers carry obligations and pass them on to you through their specifications; depending on how your sales are organised, some may also fall directly on you.
Do all obligations apply since August 2026?
No. The regulation has applied since 12 August 2026, but its obligations are staggered: some are already in force, others depend on implementing acts or later dates. The course presents the timetable as checked at the date of the session.
Is the course suitable for a packaging manufacturer as well as a packer?
Yes. The packaging manufacturer finds design and documentation criteria; the agri-food or industrial packer finds the questions to put to its suppliers and the answers to prepare for its customers.
How does it differ from the course “Circular Economy: ISO 59004, ISO 59010 and ISO 59020”?
This day is centred on one regulation and one specific object, packaging. The ISO 59004 course treats the circular economy at organisation level: principles, business models, measurement of circularity.
