Embark on the packaging revolution and join us for a glimpse into the future of EPR schemes for commercial & industrial packaging!
In adherence to the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive, all Member States must establish producer responsibility schemes for all packaging by the end of 2024, including commercial and industrial packaging.
With limited Member States having systems in place for commercial and industrial packaging, it’s time to spotlight existing initiatives and share best practices. Valipac, EXPRA, and EPRO are thrilled to extend an invitation to the first seminar dedicated to commercial and industrial packaging.
Are you ready to explore the future with us? Don’t miss our event, “EPR-schemes for C&I Packaging: The Future Has Begun” taking place on April 24 in Brussels.
Each session is interactive and gives you the opportunity to ask questions to the various speakers.
