Partner Rachida Semail to Present at PolyNext Dubai 2026

Keller and Heckman Brussels Partner Rachida Semail will present at the PolyNext Awards & Conference 2026 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on October 21, 2026. Rachida’s presentation, “The EU Recycling Regulation: Challenges for Recyclers in Third Countries,” will address key European Union regulatory developments affecting recyclers located outside the EU and the challenges they may face when seeking to comply with EU requirements.

Based in Keller and Heckman's Brussels office, Rachida Semail brings over 30 years of experience counseling global clients on EU and international food contact compliance, packaging waste regulations, and material safety laws. She routinely represents industry coalitions and multinational companies before the European Commission, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and national competent authorities across Europe and the Gulf region.

PolyNext 2026 is a premier international platform focused on plastic recyclability, sustainable packaging alternatives, and circular economy strategies across the Middle East and global markets. The conference brings together industry leaders, manufacturers, innovators, and sustainability experts to explore transformative opportunities in plastic waste reduction and material safety. For its 2026 Dubai edition, PolyNext will be held together with AgriNext at the same venue.

Rachida’s presentation will offer global suppliers and exporters actionable counsel on harmonized EU food contact standards, mutual recognition principles, and navigating the emerging EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
