Packaging: Regulation Meets Practice
What impact will new regulations have on packaging? Our event sheds light on the latest developments surrounding regulations, their requirements, and their practical implementation for these ubiquitous products that we can hardly imagine life without.
Let’s dive into the diverse world of packaging together and gain practical insight into how upcoming requirements in Switzerland and the EU are changing the packaging landscape in Switzerland:
- Switzerland's Packaging Ordinance (VerpV) and the Related Expectations for the Industry, with Samuel Anrig of the FOEN
- Manfred Tacker of Circular Analytics ( and a member of the standards committee behind EN 18120) explains what the future holds for recyclability.
- The Role of the Swiss Recycling System RecyPac in This Time of Upheaval, with Andreas Brunner, Deputy Managing Director of RecyPac
- Insights into different companies and how they deal with various requirements—for example, with Ertuğrul Tahta from Coop
Take the opportunity to network and end the day with a joint aperitif!
