Requirements, Safety and Compliance Towards 2030

The PPWR Regulation — EU 2025/40 on packaging and packaging waste — introduces a new European framework applicable to all packaging placed on the EU market. For cosmetics companies, complying with the new Regulation means progressively adapting packaging design and composition, as well as the documentation required to demonstrate compliance. Recyclability, recycled plastic content, weight and volume minimisation, empty space, labelling, traceability and environmental claims are among the aspects set to influence decisions by brands, manufacturers and packaging suppliers.

Our experts will examine the Regulation from a perspective specifically tailored to the cosmetics sector, distinguishing obligations already applicable from requirements that will gradually take effect towards 2030. The webinar will cover:

• the scope and key deadlines of the PPWR;
• the responsibilities of the various operators in the supply chain;
• recyclability and recycled content requirements;
• packaging minimisation and empty space management;
• the relationship between sustainability, functionality and safety in cosmetic packaging;
• the role of testing in assessing recycled and innovative materials.

The webinar will be moderated by Francesca Faraon, Senior Product Manager Environmental & Packaging at Mérieux NutriSciences. Speakers will include:

• Andrea Vittadello, Project Managers Coordinator and packaging and sustainability specialist, with extensive experience in biodegradability studies and technical standardisation;
• Marina Camporese, biologist and Cosmetic Packaging Expert, specialising in the safety assessment of materials in contact with food and cosmetic products.
