Virtual Conference | Sustainable Packaging Compliance: Biopolymers, Recycled Materials & Safe Use
06 Jan 2026
Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, is hosting a 2-day virtual event, the Sustainable Packaging Compliance: Biopolymers, Recycled Materials & Safe Use, on February 3-4, 2026. This exclusive event will unite packaging, regulatory, and sustainability leaders for actionable insights on compliance, safety, and circular design in sustainable packaging.
Sustainable packaging demands more than green claims; it requires a deep understanding of safety, regulatory compliance, and material performance. This two-day virtual conference (2 days × ~3 hours/day) equips packaging developers, regulatory and compliance professionals, quality teams, and sustainability experts with practical guidance to design compliant, safe, and circular packaging systems using biopolymers and recycled materials.
During the panel discussion, we are pleased to include three industry experts who translate complex packaging regulations into practical, real-world guidance. Participants will benefit from interactive discussions designed to address current compliance challenges across biopolymers, recycled materials, and safe-use considerations.
Learn how to navigate global regulatory frameworks, verify recycled content, qualify biopolymers and post-consumer recycled inputs, manage inks and coatings, and apply toxicological risk assessment to real-world packaging decisions.
Key Outcomes
Participants will gain the knowledge to:
- Understand regulatory status and safe-use criteria for bio-based and biodegradable polymers across major markets.
- Qualify post-consumer and industrial recycled materials for food contact, medical, and cosmetics packaging.
- Verify recycled content and chain-of-custody claims, preparing for audits and supply-chain transparency.
- Evaluate multi-layer packaging (barriers, adhesives, coatings) for compliance and migration risk.
- Apply toxicological risk assessment to packaging decisions and compliance documentation.
- Build defensible compliance dossiers and communicate with regulators and customers.
Who Should Attend
This event is designed for:
- Packaging developers and engineers
- Regulatory affairs and compliance teams
- Quality assurance and EHS professionals
- Sustainability and circular economy leaders
- Procurement, converters, and brand owners
