The new german packaging law | questions round with markt intern

SATURDAY • 2pm to 3pm

Speaker: Dr. Gregor Kuntze-Kaufhold

No booking required!

Presentation content

At the beginning of this year, the new German packaging law (VerpackG) replaced the old packaging legislation (VerpackV). This new law raises important questions about sales and packaging materials for timepiece and jewellery retailers, suppliers and online stores. The speaker will also shine a light on terms such as Beteiligungspflicht (mandatory participation), Registrierungspflicht (mandatory registration) and the newly created central packaging register (“Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister”). Many industry participants still feel in the dark and are looking for answers. Following the introduction to the topic, the audience is invited to direct their questions to Dr. Gregor Kuntze-Kaufhold, legal advisor to publisher ‘markt intern’. There should also be enough time during the event for short one-to-one conversations.

Presented by: Monika Schlößer, Editor-in-Chief of ‘markt intern’ Watches & Jewellery
