VerpackDG & PPWR: What businesses need to do now

RIGK invites businesses to the next #RIGKWebinarHub on 30 September 2026.

The European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and Germany's Packaging Law Implementation Act (VerpackDG) are changing the regulatory framework for businesses.

Do you know your obligations?

For businesses handling packaging not subject to system participation, the new requirements raise a number of practical questions: What role does my business have? Which obligations arise from that role? And what action needs to be taken now?

At the next #RIGKWebinarHub, RIGK and PACKLIANCE will address these questions together. The first part will focus on distinguishing between the relevant roles of producer and manufacturer and the responsibilities and obligations that follow. RIGK will then turn to B2B packaging not subject to system participation and the practical organisation of take-back and recovery.

Who is the webinar for?

The webinar is aimed at businesses that manufacture, import, use or place on the market packaging not subject to system participation and want to better understand their responsibilities and obligations under the PPWR and VerpackDG.

From understanding your role to practical implementation

Who is responsible for what? This is where the first expert session begins.

Stephanie Cieplik, Customer Success Manager at PACKLIANCE, will provide a focused introduction to the PPWR and VerpackDG. She will look in particular at the distinction between producer and manufacturer and the responsibilities and obligations arising from these roles. The session will also address requirements relating to conformity, registration and authorised representatives, as well as the questions businesses should clarify based on their individual circumstances.

RIGK will then focus on B2B packaging not subject to system participation. Sales Managers Volkmar Löber and Yannik Hünerbein will explain the obligations that apply and how businesses can organise take-back and recovery through RIGK's take-back systems and network in practice.

The webinar will be opened by Jan Bauer, Managing Director of RIGK GmbH, taking participants from regulatory classification through to practical implementation.

Join live and put your questions to our experts

Alongside the presentations, the webinar will provide dedicated time for individual questions. During the live Q&A session, participants can put their questions on the topics covered directly to PACKLIANCE and RIGK.

If a question cannot be answered conclusively during the webinar or requires an individual assessment, the relevant contacts will also be available for further discussion afterwards.

Participation is free of charge. The webinar will be recorded, and the recording and presentation materials will be made available afterwards.
