In the modern chemical and pharmaceutical landscape, reactive chemical hazards represent one of the most significant risks to process safety and business continuity. Undetected thermal instabilities or improperly sized relief systems can lead to catastrophic runaway reactions, resulting in loss of life, environmental damage, and total asset loss. This intensive two-day workshop, led by industry experts from Kaypear in collaboration with the PSCI, provides a comprehensive roadmap for identifying, quantifying, and mitigating reactive risks.

Registration Process

The packaging sector is facing a wave of overlapping and rapidly evolving EU regulatory requirements that affect businesses across the entire supply chain - from manufacturers and importers through to distributors and online platforms. This webinar will provide practical guidance on the key obligations and deadlines that companies need to prepare for now, with a particular focus on the chemicals sector.

Key topics to be covered:

• The PPWR at a glance:
  an overview and key milestones on the compliance timeline.
• Who bears responsibility:
  defining the various types of economic operators within the supply chain manufacturer, importer, distributor, fulfilment provider - and understanding the distinction.
• PFAS restrictions in packaging:
  from 12 August 2026, food-contact packaging must not be placed on the market where PFAS are present at or above specified concentration thresholds, with a broader universal PFAS restriction under REACH currently under SEAC/RAC evaluation, with a draft opinion consultation planned for spring 2026.
• REACH and PPWR - a dual compliance framework:
  the PPWR recognises that substances in packaging and packaging components are primarily addressed under REACH, yet Article 5 PPWR adds a parallel, independent obligation binding from 12 August 2026, requiring that the presence and concentration of substances of concern in packaging be minimised.
• Microplastics - where REACH Entry 78 and the PPWR interact:
  Entry 78 of Annex XVII REACH (introduced by Regulation (EU) 2023/2055) restricts Synthetic Polymer Microparticles (SPM) – how does this interact with PPWR.
• EPR obligations and enforcement:
  Member States have until 12 February 2027 to adopt penalties, with no specific enforcement guidance yet issued.
• Practical next steps for companies:
  Product reformulation, supply chain due diligence and supplier compliance verification, contractual safeguards, and monitoring the Commission's forthcoming delegated acts.
