Global Regulatory Updates on Environment and Sustainability

As climate change and environmental protection continue to dominate discussions at regulatory tables around the world, keeping up with the fragmented global regulatory environment presents a real challenge for producers and importers of all categories of products.

This webinar provides the latest news from different regions in the field of environment and sustainability topics applied to products. These include provisions on:

• New restricted chemical substances in EEE, exemptions and expanded-scope regulations.
• Regulations for products in contact with food.
• Importing procedures for specific categories of products.
• Waste management rules.
• Marking of goods and packaging for sorting purposes.

The regulatory changes we discuss include both finalized provisions with mandatory effective dates in 2023 — with which products sold or exported into different countries should comply in order to access their respective markets — and provisions under discussion. This review of both draft and finalized provisions helps producers and importers gain a thorough understanding of the changes and also helps them actively participate in the legislative process through their comments.
