Webinar Series: Cosmetics Supervision & Administration Regulation (CSAR)

Join PCPC and John Balzano, partner, Covington & Burling, for a new, three-part webinar series on the Chinese Government cosmetics reform law – Cosmetics Supervision and Administration Regulation (CSAR). 

CSAR, the Chinese Government cosmetics reform law, went into effect on Jan. 1, 2021. Since then, China has issued more than a dozen finalized CSAR secondary regulations and is working towards fully implementing the new law by 2023. CSAR significantly revises China’s cosmetics regulations, streamlining pre-market registration requirements in favor of an approach focused on registrants’ and filers’ responsibility and post-market enforcement.

  • Webinar 1: Overview and Q&A of CSAR’s critical elements, such as product and ingredient registration, animal testing exemption, labeling requirements, and implementation timeline of finalized regulations (June 30)
  • Webinar 2: China’s Good Manufacturing Practices Standard requirements and the potential implications for overseas manufacturers (July 28)
  • Webinar 3: CSAR Adverse Reaction Monitoring Rule and the new children’s cosmetic products regulatory regime (September 15)

The price for PCPC members is $745 and $1145 for nonmembers. Can’t make it to the webinars? Sign up anyway! Recordings will be sent to all registrants. For questions on registration, contact Shirley Gibbs.

Webinar: Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) –
What’s the Future?

Brands and businesses face mounting investor and regulatory pressures as public policymakers around the world look for solutions to reduce packaging waste and progress towards a circular economy, including Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs, stewardship programs, and material bans or taxes. EPR policies recognize that a manufacturer’s responsibility for its product and packaging extends to post-consumer use, attempting to shift some financial and management responsibility for a product’s impacts upstream to the manufacturer and away from the public sector. In doing so, these policies incentivize manufacturers to integrate environmental considerations into the design of their products and packaging.

Join PCPC on May 11 for a one-hour webinar aimed at helping companies of all sizes learn about plastic packaging/waste policy approaches in the U.S., what companies can do to prepare, and how product stewardship and circular design approaches can help. This webinar will also cover:

  • current state and national legislation
  • insights from the brand/retailer perspective on the intersection of EPR policy and achievement of sustainable packaging goals
  • principles of EPR policies and the hallmarks of a successful EPR program
  • policy positions from organizations like The Recycling Partnership, etc.
  • resources about EPR legislation in the U.S.

The price for PCPC members is $95 and $175 for nonmembers. Can’t make it to this webinar? Sign up anyway! A recording will be sent to all registrants. For questions on registration, contact Shirley Gibbs.
