However, reverse logistics involves far more than simply transporting goods from A to B. To ensure the return process runs smoothly, end ... ### 01 Oct 2026 ### [Back on site: 1cc and TechProtect at the KONGRESS BW 2026](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/back-on-site-1cc-and-techprotect-at-the-kongress-bw-2026) On 01 , Oct 2026 | In | By Mona-Fee Kienle [![Back on site: 1cc and TechProtect at the KONGRESS BW 2026](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1cc%20Blog%20(1200%20x%20628%20px)%20(25)-2.png?width=550&name=1cc%20Blog%20(1200%20x%20628%20px)%20(25)-2.png)](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/back-on-site-1cc-and-techprotect-at-the-kongress-bw-2026) On 21 and 22 October 2026, the KONGRESS BW in Heidelberg will once again bring together stakeholders from business, academia and politics to discuss current developments and concrete solutions relating to resource efficiency and the circular economy.

The term covers all processes in which products, materials or packaging are returned from the customer to the retailer, manufacturer or a ... ### 24 Sep 2026 ### [PPWR Action Required – What Comes Next?](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/ppwr-action-required-what-comes-next) On 24 , Sep 2026 | In | By Alisa Maier [![PPWR Action Required – What Comes Next?](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1cc%20Blog%20PPWR%20compliance%20gaps%20identified%20what%20comes%20next.png?width=550&name=1cc%20Blog%20PPWR%20compliance%20gaps%20identified%20what%20comes%20next.png)](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/ppwr-action-required-what-comes-next) Which PPWR requirements apply to our company?
