Let’s Talk PPWR: Starting the Conversation Across Labeling, Regulatory, and Packaging

About this event

PPWR Is Coming. Is Your Organization Ready?

Join life sciences leaders for an executive panel on how pharmaceutical and medical device organizations can move from regulatory awareness to operational readiness for the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation.

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is quickly moving from regulatory awareness to operational reality for pharmaceutical and medical device organizations.

While many teams understand the regulation, the real challenge lies in operationalizing compliance across packaging, labeling, regulatory, and quality functions within aggressive implementation timelines.

PPWR introduces new requirements that extend well beyond packaging materials. Organizations will need to align data, documentation, supplier strategies, labeling updates, and sustainability reporting to meet future compliance obligations.

In this executive-level panel discussion, specialists from Network Partners Group will discuss what PPWR readiness looks like in practice and the organizational decisions required to move from awareness to execution.

The conversation will focus on how life sciences companies can begin translating PPWR requirements into practical actions across packaging, labeling, regulatory, and quality teams in preparation for future declarations of conformity.

What You’ll Learn

  • How PPWR requirements affect packaging, labeling, regulatory strategy, and supply chain decisions
  • The role of the four critical “D’s”: Data, Documentation, Design Changes, and Decisions in building compliance readiness
  • Common operational gaps that can delay PPWR readiness if not addressed early
  • Practical steps organizations can take now to begin preparing for future declarations of conformity

Who Should Attend

This session is designed for professionals responsible for preparing their organizations for upcoming packaging and regulatory changes, including:

  • Packaging Engineering Leaders
  • Regulatory Affairs Professionals
  • Labeling and Artwork Management Teams
  • Quality and Compliance Leaders
  • Sustainability and ESG Program Leaders
  • Program and Project Leaders responsible for regulatory readiness initiatives

If your organization is beginning to assess the operational impact of PPWR or align cross-functional teams around compliance readiness, this discussion will provide valuable perspective.
