About the Event
This 3-hour training course shows how packaging compliance has become a supply chain obligation rather than a distant regulatory concern. Through a detailed overview and practical case studies, participants will learn what the EU, UK, China, Australia and Singapore each require, who carries the legal obligation, and the consequences of non-compliance. Designed for packaging suppliers, ESG professionals, manufacturers and business owners across all industries, the course provides a side-by-side jurisdictional comparison and actionable strategies to help firms turn packaging rules into a competitive advantage.
