Forward Regulatory Insights help us to anticipate legislative changes. This valuable information comes from an extensive network of consultants, policy makers, NGOs and lobbyists in Brussels, Strasbourg and the EU Member States. Paardekooper has a full-time employee focused on following key regulations concerning packaging, waste, toxicity and claims, ensuring we are always up to date with accessible timelines.

By looking ahead to upcoming legislation, we can quickly respond to changes, limit risks and protect our processes. For example, we can adapt our packaging designs and materials to meet stricter environmental and toxicity standards even before these regulations officially come into effect. This helps us make better investment choices and strategically prepare for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies together with The LCA Centre.

These insights not only guide our strategic decisions, but also give us the opportunity to prepare and innovate. Although not yet binding, they are the best predictors of future legislation, keeping us ahead of the competition and adapting to change. Forward Regulatory Insights are therefore not only a way to avoid uncertainty, but also a powerful tool for building an agile, competitive future.
