Food & Chemicals Unpacked is your go-to podcast for hot topics in the food and chemical industry.

This episode of Food & Chemicals Unpacked explores the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) currently being advanced in the European Union (EU). Keller and Heckman Partner Hazel O’Keeffe joins us to provide an overview of the proposed regulation, covering its main objectives and potential impacts on food packaging, cosmetics, and other consumer products. This talk addresses topics such as recyclability, “substances of concern,” packaging minimization targets, and the PPWR’s interplay with the Single Use Plastics Directive (SUPD). Hazel also shares some valuable insights on the steps companies can take to stay ahead of these compliance and sustainability challenges.
