Network Partners Group invites you to their event
About this event
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.
This session is designed for professionals responsible for preparing their organizations for upcoming packaging and regulatory changes, including:
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.
