Between May and October 2026, packaging compliance teams will face a tight cluster of deadlines: 👉 EU BPA ban. 👉 PPWR requirements. 👉 Binding PFAS limits for food-contact packaging. 👉 California’s recyclability labeling law. 👉 US EPR reporting. 👉 EU microplastics rules. For many FMCG teams, that means six regulations being tracked across six different spreadsheets. But while researching this edition, one thing became clear: these are not six separate problems. BPA declarations, PPWR conformity documents, PFAS test results, EPR supplier reports, and recyclability claims all depend on the same core data: Material. Weight. Supplier. Chemistry. SKU-level packaging details. When that data sits in one place, teams can respond to multiple regulators with far less duplication. When it is scattered across ERP exports, supplier PDFs, and internal folders, the same answer has to be rebuilt again and again, often under deadline pressure. This edition breaks down the six key dates, what each rule actually requires, and where the real packaging compliance risk is hiding. #PackagingCompliance #PPWR #Sustainability #FMCG #SupplyChain
