Europe’s New Packaging Rules – What Businesses Need to Know
Packaging rules are changing – is your business ready?
Whether your business manufactures products, imports goods, sells online, supplies retailers or operates in industries like hospitality or healthcare, the EU's new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is likely to have implications for your organisation.
More than a sustainability initiative, PPWR introduces new legal requirements that will reshape how packaging is designed, used and managed across the EU. With key provisions having taken effect from 12 August 2026, now is the time to understand what the regulation means for your business and how to prepare for moving forward
What you will learn:
What PPWR is and why it matters across a wide range of sectors • The key obligations that came into effect from 12 August 2026 • How the regulation supports Ireland's transition to a circular economy • The practical implications for businesses of different sizes and industries • How Repak is supporting businesses in navigating compliance with this regulatory change
You will hear from Zoe Kavanagh, Chief Executive Officer of Repak, Ireland's leading environmental not-for-profit focused on packaging recycling and sustainability. She leads Repak's mission to foster a circular economy and enhance packaging recycling across Ireland, driving member compliance and consumer education initiatives.
She has 30 years of experience in domestic & international markets within dairy and FMCG sectors, including serving for 13 years as CEO of the National Dairy Council and spending 16 years at PepsiCo in numerous roles including General Manager for Ireland Beverages.
This event is designed for businesses across the packaging value chain, including manufacturers, importers, online sellers, retail suppliers and organisations in sectors such as hospitality and healthcare.
About Repak:
Repak partners with businesses across Ireland to manage packaging recycling, promote sustainable practices and help organisations prepare for evolving environmental regulations. Its work is central to building a more resource-efficient, circular economy.
