  • On applicable guidance documents and emerging requirements related to packaging sustainability, including PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation).
  • On the mechanisms of container-content interactions and migration phenomena.
  • On analytical approaches used to identify and evaluate potential migrants from packaging materials.
  • On how to develop an assessment strategy based on supplier documentation, analytical testing, and toxicological evaluation.
  • On the role and responsibilities of stakeholders involved in cosmetic packaging safety and compliance.
