Tocco Guide: Packaging Compliance⋅Quick Guide for 2026

A concise excerpt from Tocco Report: The Global Packaging Compliance Handbook for 2026, this guide tracks the point where packaging regulation turns into enforcement. In 2026, recyclability scoring, recycled-content thresholds, EPR fees, and chemical restrictions stop being “targets” and start acting as conditions for market access. For brands and suppliers, the debate shifts from what’s coming to what needs fixing now.

Prepared by the Tocco editorial team, it translates the regulatory stack into operational terms: what changes in packaging design, sourcing, labelling, and reporting, and where teams typically get caught out. Built for decision-makers who work across borders and need clarity, fast.
