Webinar Registration: Textile Sustainability Regulations: What’s Happening Now

Overview

From August 2026, the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) will require producers to create a Declaration of Conformity (DoC) for every packaging unit placed on the EU market. This introduces new documentation obligations, stricter data requirements, and greater accountability for compliance. Many companies are unsure what exactly must be documented, how to organize their packaging data, and what processes need to be in place before the deadline.

In this client webinar, we will break down what the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) means in practice and what your organization needs to do to prepare. We will also demonstrate how RLG’s DoC Generator in the ALMA platform uses your existing packaging data to create structured, PPWR-compliant declarations more efficiently. You will learn what information is required, how declarations are generated and stored, and how to ensure proper validation and version control.

Our goal is to give you clarity and confidence. You will leave with a clear understanding of your legal responsibilities, how RLG supports your compliance workflow, and the concrete steps you should take now to be ready for August 2026.
