CFTalks: PPWR unwrapped - Verpackungen gestalten, Recht verstehen.

Düsseldorf November 4, 2025 15:30 CET

Wir laden Sie herzlich ein zu unserem CFTalks PPWR unwrapped – Verpackungen gestalten, Recht verstehen. Zwischen Design & Paragraphen

Diesmal in Kooperation mit der renommierten Hamburger Verpackungsagentur brandpack!

Tauchen Sie mit uns ein in die Welt der PPWR und erfahren Sie anhand einer praxisnahen Case Study, wie sich die komplexen Anforderungen der Verordnung im
Unternehmensalltag umsetzen lassen. Gemeinsam mit den Verpackungsdesign-Experten von brandpack geben wir konkrete Einblicke in die Umsetzung der PPWR und zeigen, worauf es aus rechtlicher und gestalterischer Sicht besonders ankommt.

Freuen Sie sich auf einen interaktiven Austausch zu Fragen wie:

  • Welche Verpackungen sind von den Regelungen der PPWR betroffen?
  • Welche Anforderungen muss ich mit meinem Unternehmen beachten?
  • Wie lassen sich Kennzeichnungspflichten umsetzen und Konformitätserklärungen gestalten?
  • Welche Fallstricke lauern bei Recycling, Verpackungsminimierung und Green Claims?
  • Welche Chancen bietet die PPWR für innovative und nachhaltige Verpackungslösungen?
  • Und: Welche Sanktionen drohen bei Verstößen?

Im Anschluss laden wir Sie zur Podiumsdiskussion ein: Diskutieren Sie mit unseren Expertinnen und Experten, wie sich regulatorische Anforderungen, Nachhaltigkeit und Markenpositionierung in Einklang bringen lassen – und wie Ihr Unternehmen davon profitieren kann.
