As PFAS restrictions tighten, PPWR reshapes packaging requirements, and scrutiny on recycled materials grows, staying compliant has never been more complex — or more critical. Plastics & Paper for Food Contact Packaging (P&P) brings together regulators, brand owners, manufacturers, and technical experts from across the food contact supply chain to cut through the complexity together.
Join us in Vienna on 8–10 December for two days of practical insight, regulatory clarity, and direct access to the people shaping the future of food contact compliance — from migration testing and risk assessment to inks, adhesives, and the evolving EU regulatory framework.
