Future-proof your packaging for the European Union's new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) introduces new packaging requirements for companies placing packaged products on the EU market.

The regulation introduces new obligations related to packaging design, recyclability, recycled content, packaging minimization, reuse, labeling, documentation, and producer responsibilities.

Whether you sell through Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, eBay, Temu, your own e-commerce store, or traditional distribution channels, your packaging strategy should be reviewed before the new requirements become fully applicable.

EaseCert's PPWR Compliance Service helps businesses understand their obligations, identify compliance gaps, review packaging, and develop a practical implementation plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)?

The PPWR is the European Union's new packaging regulation that replaces the previous Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive. It introduces new requirements covering packaging design, recyclability, recycled content, reuse targets, packaging minimization, labeling, and documentation. The regulation applies to companies placing packaged products on the EU market, regardless of whether they are located inside or outside the EU.

Who needs PPWR compliance?

PPWR affects manufacturers, importers, brand owners, distributors, private-label sellers, online retailers, and non-EU companies selling packaged products into the European Union. Businesses selling through Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, eBay, Temu, and other e-commerce platforms should review their packaging strategy to determine whether changes are required.

Does PPWR apply to non-EU companies?

Yes. Non-EU companies that place packaged products on the EU market may be subject to PPWR requirements. Depending on the distribution model and the Member States involved, additional obligations related to economic operators or representation requirements may also apply.

What packaging is covered by PPWR?

PPWR applies to almost all types of packaging placed on the EU market, including primary packaging, secondary packaging, shipping packaging, e-commerce packaging, transport packaging, and product packaging used across multiple industries.

Will all packaging have to be recyclable?

Yes. One of the central objectives of PPWR is to ensure that all packaging placed on the EU market becomes recyclable according to specific performance criteria. The regulation also introduces requirements related to recycled content and packaging design.

Does PPWR replace Packaging EPR requirements?

No. PPWR and Packaging EPR obligations are separate compliance requirements. Many businesses will still need to comply with national packaging registration, reporting, and recycling obligations in individual EU Member States.

Is GPSR included in this service?

No. GPSR compliance is a separate service. GPSR focuses on product safety, while PPWR focuses on packaging and environmental requirements. If your products have not yet been assessed under GPSR, EaseCert can provide additional support through our dedicated product safety services.

Will I need to redesign my packaging?

Not necessarily. Some businesses may only need minor adjustments, while others may need to modify packaging materials, improve recyclability, increase recycled content, reduce packaging volume, or update packaging documentation. The purpose of this service is to identify compliance gaps and develop a practical implementation strategy.

What documents will I need for a PPWR assessment?

Typical documentation includes packaging specifications, packaging material breakdowns, packaging artwork, supplier information, product photographs, annual sales estimates, importer information, and marketplace links.

Does EaseCert complete registrations on behalf of clients?

EaseCert provides compliance guidance, implementation support, documentation preparation, onboarding assistance, and registration coordination. Unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing or legally permitted under a specific mandate, EaseCert does not submit applications, sign declarations, or act on behalf of clients before authorities or Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs).

How much does the PPWR Compliance Service cost?

The PPWR Compliance Service is available for a fixed fee of €500.00 EUR.
