EPR Think Tank 2027

EPR Think Tank 2027 is an industry-focused conference addressing Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), packaging regulation, recycling systems, and circular economy implementation. The event brings together senior representatives from consumer goods companies, packaging producers, retailers, recyclers, waste management organisations, policymakers, and sustainability professionals to examine the evolving EPR landscape and its implications for businesses.

Purpose and Objectives

The primary purpose of the EPR Think Tank is to provide a focused forum for businesses and policymakers to discuss the development and implementation of EPR systems. The event examines how changing packaging and recycling requirements affect corporate responsibility, compliance, costs, collection systems, and circular economy strategies.

Key Activities

The programme features expert presentations, interactive discussions, case studies, and networking opportunities. Sessions address EPR legislation, packaging policy, producer responsibility organisations, recycling infrastructure, material recovery, compliance strategies, and the practical challenges businesses face when adapting to new regulatory requirements.

You’ll explore

• EPR legislation and regulatory developments
• Packaging sustainability and producer responsibility
• Recycling and collection systems
• Compliance, costs and producer obligations
• Circular economy implementation
• Business strategies for changing EPR requirements

Significance

The event is significant because EPR regulations are increasingly influencing how companies design packaging, manage post-consumer materials, report environmental performance, and finance waste management systems. A dedicated forum allows businesses and other stakeholders to examine regulatory developments and implementation challenges across the packaging and recycling value chain.

Expected Outcomes

Participants can expect greater understanding of EPR policy developments, compliance requirements, recycling systems, and emerging circular economy approaches. The event is intended to support knowledge exchange, regulatory preparedness, industry collaboration, and development of practical strategies for managing producer responsibility obligations.
