The first wave of PPWR obligations arrives in August 2026 — Declarations of Conformity, PFAS restrictions, EPR reporting. But the mandates that will fundamentally reshape how packaging is designed, labeled, and sold run well into 2027 and beyond.
Most organizations are focused on surviving August. The ones that will come out ahead are already thinking past it.
In this session, Danielle Goad (Specright) and Anna Perlina (Integrity Solutions) map the full regulatory horizon — and take an honest look at where most packaging teams actually stand: fragmented data, supplier blind spots, and spec processes that weren’t built for what PPWR demands.
What You’ll Learn
What lands in August — and what follows in 2027 and beyond
The design changes coming for recyclability, eco-modulation, labeling, and reuse
Where organizations have the most exposure right now (and why most don’t know it yet)
How a spec-first data foundation changes your ability to respond — on compliance, reporting, and portfolio strategy
Anna Perlina’s framework for building a business case that gets PPWR investment approved at the executive level
Bringing together leaders in industry and technology to drive innovation.
