Digitalization as the Key to PPWR Compliance – AI & Standards – AI & standards

Friday, 6. February 2026 – Start 13:30

Why is digitalization essential for meeting the requirements of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)?
In this Inno-Talk session, we explain how digital standards and intelligent assistance systems can help companies achieve PPWR compliance.

Faser-basierte Flexpacks – Papier und mehr

Friday, 20. March 2026 – Start 13:30

Wie nah kommen faser-basierte Verpackungen heute an die Performance moderner Mehrschichtfolien heran – ohne beim Recycling in Sackgassen zu enden?

Dieser Inno-Talk gibt einen praxisnahen Überblick über die derzeit meistdiskutierten faserbasierten Materialfamilien für flexible Verpackungen: funktionelle Barrierepapiere (u. a. mit Dispersions- und PVOH-basierten Beschichtungen), regenerierte Cellulosefolien (z. B. für Sichtfenster oder komplette Packs) sowie Nanocellulose-basierte Beschichtungen/Strukturen, die sehr starke Sauerstoffbarrieren ermöglichen, aber kluge Konzepte erfordern, um Feuchteempfindlichkeit und Siegelbarkeit zu beherrschen.

Sie erfahren:

– was diese Materialsysteme realistisch bei OTR/WVTR, Fett-/Ölbeständigkeit, Siegelbarkeit und Maschinengängigkeit leisten

– worauf aktuelle Entwicklungen zielen (z. B. Mehrschicht-Coating-Ansätze und Oberflächenfunktionalisierung für Barriere und Hydrophobierung)

– wie Sie End-of-Life-Optionen (Repulpierbarkeit vs. Kompostierbarkeit vs. Hybridstrukturen) bewerten und welche typischen Zielkonflikte für Marken und Verarbeiter daraus entstehen

Das PFAS-Verbot – Realitätscheck für flexible Verpackungen

Friday, 22. May 2026 – Start 13:30

Das geplante universelle PFAS-Verbot der EU bedroht nicht nur beschichtete Papierverpackungen, sondern zielt oft unerkannt auf den Kern der Hochleistungsfolien: Verarbeitungshilfsmittel (PPA) und spezielle Barriere-Coatings. In diesem Inno-Talk analysieren wir den aktuellen Stand des ECHA-Dossiers und die sinkende Wahrscheinlichkeit von Ausnahmen für Lebensmittelkontaktmaterialien. Erfahren Sie, wo „Ewigkeitschemikalien“ in Ihren Strukturen versteckt sein könnten und welche fluorfreien Alternativen für Extrusion und Fettbarrieren heute bereits marktreif sind, um Ihre Verpackungen rechtssicher aufzustellen.

Chemical recycling & mass balance – The key to food grade?

Friday, 19. June 2026 – Start 13:30

With the PPWR quotas for 2030, the use of recycled materials will also become mandatory for food contact materials, but mechanical recycling often encounters regulatory limitations in this area. In this Inno-Talk, we shed light on the current EU status regarding the recognition of the mass balance method (“fuel use exempt”) and analyze whether chemical recycling capacities in Europe are scaling up in time to effectively close the gap for legally compliant food-grade packaging.

We are the virtual collective lens for Flexpack knowledge

Specialists from the retail, food and consumer goods industries and, above all, packaging experts regularly meet here virtually. But we offer more than just a webinar. The mixture of compact presentations, questions and answers from the audience and live surveys makes this event something special. Questions from the audience are collected directly for each presentation, evaluated by the participants and discussed immediately. Voting rounds off the interaction. The contact details of the live participants are shared with each other and thus support interaction during and after the event. Everything revolves around the topic of packaging with a focus on flexible packaging for food, i.e. #Flexpack.

n this introductory video, I would like to give you a flavour of what InnoTalk can offer you, your employees and your company. We form a community of people who are interested in flexible packaging. And the whole thing is free for participants. They acquire specialised knowledge and make contacts with other film experts. In this way, we stimulate joint discussions and ideas for packaging manufacturers and packagers as well as for suppliers to the film industry and the retail trade. Directly after each presentation, questions from the audience will be collected, evaluated by the participants and immediately answered and discussed. During the talk, participants and supporters can exchange their digital business cards with each other and network digitally after the presentation and discussion part. A real industry get-together and much more than just a free webinar with high-calibre presentations.

The video is translated with AI dubbing.
