What is the PPWR?
The PPWR establishes harmonised requirements for the entire lifecycle of packaging: design, placing on the market, reuse, recyclability, recycled content, labelling and waste management.
It applies to all packaging placed on the European Union market and affects all economic operators that place packaged products on the market, including manufacturers, importers, distributors and companies not established in the EU.
Belab Services helps companies assess their obligations, reduce regulatory risks and prepare a compliance strategy adapted to their packaging, products and sales channels.
Key pillars of the PPWR
Packaging design
Design requirements focused on sustainability and reducing environmental impact.
Recyclability
Assessment of packaging recyclability and adaptation to the applicable EU criteria.
Labelling and information
Harmonised information for consumers, authorities and operators throughout the supply chain.
Extended Producer Responsibility
Registration, financing, reporting and packaging waste management obligations.
