Let’s Talk PPWR: What Data You Need (and How to Build Your Technical File)

If your team is still asking, “What do we actually need to do for PPWR—and when?” you’re not alone. Across the industry, organizations are in the early stages of understanding what compliance will require, and many are realizing that the biggest hurdle isn’t interpretation – it’s execution. Specifically, gathering the right data and building the technical documentation needed to support it.

In this next session of our Let’s Talk PPWR series, we move beyond the high-level conversation and into the work itself. Through a live Q&A format, NPG’s Packaging and Regulatory Affairs leadership will unpack what it really takes to begin building toward compliance, starting with the data you already have, the gaps you’ll need to fill, and how to prioritize the effort without overwhelming your teams.

If you missed the foundational discussion, you can catch up with Let’s Talk PPWR: Starting the Conversation Across Packaging, Regulatory, and Labeling before joining. This session builds directly on that conversation, offering a more tactical look at how organizations can begin structuring their approach to data collection and technical file development.

Our goal is simple: provide clarity where there’s uncertainty and give your team a more confident starting point, while showing how the right structure and cross-functional alignment can make the path forward far more manageable.
