2019 Speaker Highlights

The EPR Toolkit Seminar
Implementing the EPR minimum requirements Across Europe
EPR has been vaguely defined, and guidelines and rules for Member States have been missing to help ensure a level playing field throughout Europe. Now, with the approval of the Circular Economy Package, and revised Waste Framework Directive and Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive, we can begin to implement a streamlined EPR strategy.
The EPR Toolkit Seminar will address implementing the new EPR legislation across Europe.
Key topics will likely include:
- What are the new minimum Requirements for EPR?
- How to achieve transparency within the Packaging Recovery Organizations, equal treatment and non- discrimination of the clients
- Initiatives of PROs and EPR Fee Modulation
- What will industry have to pay? How can it be calculated? Full costs
- Enforcement, reporting and monitoring
