BHETA to hold packaging seminar
BHETA is to hold an advisory webinar featuring the latest updates on packaging. The session will take place on Tuesday 18th June at 10 am and will be the first of a series of regular packaging updates during the remainder of 2024. The speakers will be Tracy Sutton and Hannah Worthington from new BHETA business service provider, Root, and the presentation is entitled ‘Getting to the Root of Packaging Regulation’.
Tracy and Hannah will talk for around thirty minutes to help delegates understand the regulatory pressures and anticipate future demands, before taking questions. Questions can also be emailed to sr@bheta.co.uk ahead of the event.
Why Compliance is not enough
The main agenda includes:
- An actionable summary of the global policy landscape including Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), Plastics Taxes, and the new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulations
- Why compliance is not enough
- How to adapt to the new landscape and use it as a USP
- Examples of other businesses which have started to adapt.
