Keller and Heckman’s Annual Food Packaging Law Seminar and Sustainability Day Will Take Place October 7 – 9, 2025

Keller and Heckman is pleased to announce that its 26th Annual Food Packaging Law Seminar and Sustainability Day will take place October 7 – 9, 2025, in Arlington, VA (just outside Washington, DC). There will also be a Welcome and Networking Reception held at the hotel on the evening of October 6.

Described by a former attendee as “A solid two days packed with both technical and legal info presented by professionals from THE premier law firm in the field,” this seminar is a must-attend event for regulatory, scientific, and legal professionals who want to stay abreast of legal and regulatory developments in the global food packaging industry.

This year’s program will delve into critical topics, including:

• Global Regulatory Overview: A comprehensive analysis of food packaging laws and regulations in the U.S., EU, Canada, Latin America, and Asia, with a focus on China, Japan, and India.
• Technical Deep Dives: In-depth discussions on technical considerations, customer assurances, GMP requirements, and California’s Proposition 65.
• Emerging Challenges: Coverage of hot topics in food contact, such as: regulatory activity related to PFAS, state laws targeting chemicals of concern, pressure to reform GRAS, microplastics from a global perspective, and more.

The Sustainability Day will include sessions on U.S. and EU recycled plastics regulations; an overview of extended producer responsibility (EPR) legislation as it applies to packaging; environmental marketing claims; and single-use plastics requirements in U.S. states, the EU, and Canada. Attendees at last year’s Sustainability Day described it as “Fantastic,” “Very informative and well organized,” and offering “great insight of what’s to come.”
