We wanted to make sure this didn&#039;t slip through your inbox.</p><p>The first mandatory <strong>ECHA emissions report under the REACH restriction (EU 2023/2055) </strong>is due <strong>31 May 2026. </strong>That is six weeks away. </p><p>Our training platform was built specifically for this moment. In six structured modules, it walks your team through both the REACH restriction and the Pellet Loss Regulation (EU 2025/2365) - and guides you step by step through the <strong>Bow-Tie estimation methodology and the full REACH-IT submission process.</strong></p><p>Registration is open now at &euro;300 per participant.</p><a href=\"https://microplastics.polymercomplyeurope.eu/\"\n        target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\n        class=\"story-content-button-block story-content-button-block--center story-content-button-block--primary\">\n    Register here</a>\n<blockquote>If something else is holding you back, contact <strong>pedro.guincho@pceu.eu </strong></blockquote><h4 id=\"background\" ><strong>Background</strong></h4><p>With the first mandatory <strong>ECHA emissions</strong> <strong>report due 31 May 2026</strong> - covering pellet losses incurred during 2025 - companies handling plastic pellets, flakes, or powders are under immediate pressure to document, estimate, and submit their data. Many organisations are navigating both regulations simultaneously for the first time, with limited operational guidance available to support implementation.</p><h4 id=\"about-the-training\" ><strong>About the Training</strong></h4><p>The <a href=\"https://microplastics.polymercomplyeurope.eu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Polymer Comply Europe Microplastics Compliance Training</strong></a> was developed to bridge the gap between regulatory text and practical implementation. Drawing on years of industry engagement through webinars, guidance documents, and conference presentations, the course consolidates the most comprehensive review of both regulations currently available in a single, structured learning environment.</p><p>The platform delivers <strong>six modules</strong> covering the f<strong>ull scope of both regulations, practical prevention and containment measures, and a step-by-step walkthrough of the EuPC Bow-Tie methodology for pellet loss estimation.</strong> The course concludes with a fully worked <strong>REACH-IT</strong> submission example, guiding participants through the complete <strong>ECHA reporting process.</strong></p><p>The training is designed for operations and HSE managers, regulatory and compliance teams, supply chain and logistics professionals, and senior management responsible for ensuring timely compliance.</p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--contained release-content-image--align-center\"\n        data-component=\"image-zoom-popup\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-selector=\".release-content-image__image\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-i18n=\"data:application/json;base64,eyJEb3dubG9hZCI6IkRvd25sb2FkIn0=\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-views-event=\"Story Image View\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-download-event=\"Story Image Download\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-placement=\"content\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover\" style=\"width: 76.95%\">\n            <img\n                src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/70ecc4ff-10df-489d-96fe-d679216b9fea/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                                    srcset=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/70ecc4ff-10df-489d-96fe-d679216b9fea/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/ 1x, https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/70ecc4ff-10df-489d-96fe-d679216b9fea/-/resize/2400x/-/format/auto/ 2x\"\n                                class=\"release-content-image__image image-thumbnail-rollover__image\"\n                data-description=\"\"\n                id=\"image-70ecc4ff-10df-489d-96fe-d679216b9fea\"\n                data-id=\"70ecc4ff-10df-489d-96fe-d679216b9fea\"\n                data-original=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/70ecc4ff-10df-489d-96fe-d679216b9fea/-/inline/no/image.png\"\n                data-mfp-src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/70ecc4ff-10df-489d-96fe-d679216b9fea/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                alt=\"Story image\"\n            />\n            <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover__caption\">\n                <svg class=\"icon icon-expand image-thumbnail-rollover__caption-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-expand\"></use>\n            </svg>            </div>\n        </div>\n\n        <figcaption class=\"release-content-image__caption\"></figcaption>\n    </figure>\n<hr /><p><strong>About Polymer Comply Europe</strong></p><p>Polymer Comply Europe is a regulatory compliance consultancy specialising in EU plastics legislation, supporting companies across the plastics value chain in understanding and implementing their obligations under REACH, CLP, and related regulatory frameworks.</p><p><em>For further information, contact: Pedro Guincho | pedro.guincho@pceu.eu</em></p>",
