March 18, 2025 2:00 pm

If you’re not actively managing your EPR compliance, your company could already be at risk. Many businesses assume these laws don’t apply to them—until they’re surprised with fines, audits, or unexpected supply chain disruptions.

Don’t let that be you.

With enforcement ramping up across Europe, major distributors demanding proof of compliance, and key deadlines fast approaching, waiting is no longer an option. This session is for companies that are not yet compliant and need a clear, actionable plan to fix it—fast. Join RLG’s experts for a practical breakdown of what EPR enforcement really looks like, how to identify if your business is at risk, and what steps you must take now to avoid penalties.

Here’s What We’ll Cover:

Are You Already Non-Compliant? – How regulators and retailers are identifying businesses that haven’t met EPR requirements.

Stricter Enforcement in Key Markets – Which European countries are cracking down the hardest and what that means for your business.

The Five Biggest Upcoming EPR Deadlines – What industries will be affected and how to prepare.

What Data You Need to Track & Report – Understanding material categories, weight thresholds, and common reporting mistakes.

The Most Common Compliance Mistakes – Where companies go wrong and how to correct it before fines hit.

How to Take Immediate Action – Practical steps to meet your compliance obligations before it’s too late.

Who Should Attend?
