Webinar: EU Green Deal and Member State Environmental Requirements and Initiatives (Part 2 of 2)

Nov. 14, 2022, 12 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. ET

Major regulations affecting cosmetic products and their packaging are changing drastically at the European Union (EU) level and within EU member states. To further environmental protection, the EU Commission is proposing changes to formulations, packaging, claims and labeling. Making matters even more complex, member state countries such as France, Spain and Italy have launched their own environmental laws and regulations.

The second webinar in a two-part series on the EU Green Deal completes the overview of the new regulatory landscape and will include:

  • What do we expect to change in the PPWD?
  • EcoDesign and product passport for packaging
  • Data to collect

Get answers! PCPC’s Global Strategies team will field questions during the webinar. Email questions you would like addressed in advance of the webinar.

PCPC’s first webinar in this two-part series covered permissible claims under the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive and provided real case studies from other sectors, as well as practical considerations. Beyond claims, the first webinar also provided a deeper dive on labeling requirements for packaging from member state regulations in France, Italy and Spain. The recording and slides are available here.
