Compliance Updates

July 2025

Summertime News

This is the last edition of Compass before the summer break, so why not find somewhere cool to catch up on July’s hot topics?

This month we cover a range of stories: from using AI to support compliance tasks through to EPR in action in the professional electronics and retail sectors.

We have the latest from Brussels on simplification, the Circular Economy Act and chemical regulations (CLP and REACH).

Plus, we take you to three EPR destinations: Chile, the USA (three states) and the UK (important changes for e-waste and packaging).

Happy reading and see you again in early September!
