BHETA is to hold an advisory webinar featuring the latest updates on packaging. The session will take place on Tuesday 18 June at 10am and will be the first of a series of regular packaging updates during the remainder of 2024.
The speakers will be Tracy Sutton and Hannah Worthington from new BHETA business service provider, Root, and the presentation is entitled ‘Getting to the Root of Packaging Regulation’.
Tracy and Hannah will talk for around 30 minutes to help delegates understand the regulatory pressures and anticipate future demands, before taking questions. Questions can also be emailed to sr@bheta.co.uk ahead of the event.
The main agenda is as follows:
- An actionable summary of the global policy landscape including Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), Plastics Taxes, and the new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulations
- Why compliance is not enough
- How to adapt to the new landscape and use it as a USP
- Examples of other businesses which have started to adapt
The event will cover the DIY, garden, housewares, and electrical sectors. Non-members who are interested in experiencing a BHETA event and are thinking of joining the association are also welcome to register for a ‘taster session’, on the condition they are happy to have a membership chat with the relevant sector manager.
