Description

The transition to PPWR-compliant packaging requires more than material substitution. It demands formulation-level decisions that balance recyclability, barrier performance, and regulatory risk. This advanced training focuses on designing PFAS-free, mono-material packaging systems that meet EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation requirements while maintaining functional performance in real applications. Participants will learn how polymer compatibility, adhesive selection, coating chemistry, and barrier architecture influence recyclability outcomes in PE and PP streams. The session examines practical limits of EVOH integration, mineral and silica barriers, and high-performance polyolefin solutions, including their impact on delamination risk, NIR detectability, and reprocessing behavior. The training also addresses Design-for-Recycling (D4R) criteria, recyclability validation methods, and supplier data requirements needed to support compliance claims. Emphasis is placed on identifying failure modes such as recycling stream rejection, barrier breakdown after reprocessing, and hidden PFAS contamination risks. By connecting formulation choices with regulatory acceptance and real recycling performance, this program enables R&D and packaging teams to design audit-ready, market-compliant packaging systems without costly redesign cycles.

Why you should not miss this training?

This training is for professionals who must make defensible material decisions now, not after PPWR and PFAS enforcement closes options;

1. Align R&D timelines with PPWR and PFAS enforcement: Identify what must be redesigned early to avoid late-stage reformulation risk.

2. Close the PFAS-free performance gap: Understand which PFAS-free barriers deliver grease, heat, and barrier performance in practice.

3. Design mono-material structures that truly recycle: Apply adhesive and coating rules that determine acceptance in real recycling streams.

4. Validate recyclability correctly the first time: Focus on NIR sorting and reprocessing tests regulators and recyclers rely on.

5. Demand decision-grade supplier data: Know exactly what documentation proves PFAS-free status and PPWR recyclability.

Who should attend this training?

This is highly recommended and must have training for chemical industry professionals engaged in diverse application/formulation areas; in particular:

    - R&D chemists, Formulators
    - Technical managers, Process Engineers
    - QA managers, Manufacturing leads
    - Regulatory, compliance managers
    - Product development teams and R&D managers
