Understand EU Packaging Rules, Build a Compliant DoC & Stay Audit-Ready — Master PPWR With Confidence

Practical EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) training covering scope, Technical Documentation, Declarations of Conformity and audit readiness — so your business can meet its packaging compliance obligations when selling into or supplying the EU.

Why This PPWR Course Matters Now

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) introduces new obligations for businesses placing packaging on the EU market, with requirements taking effect from 12 August 2026. 

For UK manufacturers selling into the EU, and UK suppliers supporting customers who do, this means understanding which Articles apply to specific packaging, what a compliant Technical Documentation file and Declaration of Conformity must contain, and how to stay audit-ready. This course helps businesses work out what applies to them and leave with the knowledge to build compliant documentation rather than relying on unverified templates.
