Why PPWR Compliance Matters for Your Business

The new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) replaces the current Packaging Directive (94/62/EC) with a binding framework to harmonize packaging rules and promote a circular, low-waste system.

It sets requirements for packaging design, recyclability, recycled content, minimization and reusability, and aligns with related regulations such as REACH and upcoming PFAS restrictions. Companies placing packaging on the EU market must ensure PPWR conformity, maintain technical documentation and EU Declarations of Conformity based on verified supply chain data.
