It involves much ... ### 20 Jul 2026 ### [Our PPWR Webinar Series Returns in German](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/our-ppwr-webinar-series-returns-in-german) On 20 , Jul 2026 | In | By Alisa Maier [![Our PPWR Webinar Series Returns in German](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Webinar%20%C3%9Cbersicht%20EN-1.png?width=550&name=Webinar%20%C3%9Cbersicht%20EN-1.png)](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/our-ppwr-webinar-series-returns-in-german) Following the strong response to our English sessions, we are now offering the same free PPWR webinar series in German.

In practice, however, the real work begins much earlier – namely as soon as devices are returned, collected or exchanged as part of a trade-in scheme.
