Packaging compliance
How to scope a PPWR programme, decide who holds each packaging duty, write declarations of conformity and run EPR reporting country by country. Each answer separates what the law requires today from what still waits on a Commission act.
- How to scope and launch a PPWR compliance programmeStart from the packaging formats you place on the EU market, map each to its requirements and dates, and name who approves the plan.
- PPWR deadlines: separating company obligations from Commission milestonesSome PPWR dates are fixed. Others start a set time after a Commission act, whichever is later, so they move when the act is late.
- Who should own a PPWR compliance programme?The Regulation names companies, not departments. Give one person the programme, name an owner for each duty, and agree who approves.
- Who is responsible for packaging conformity across a supply chain?The manufacturer answers for conformity across the EU. The producer answers for EPR in each country. They are often different companies.
- PPWR declarations of conformity: choosing the right packaging scopeOne declaration per packaging type, covering the whole unit and its components, with variants grouped only where the result can't differ.
- PPWR for B2B and aerospace packaging: how to assess scopeB2B packaging has no general exemption. Each exemption belongs to one requirement, so scope is decided format by format and documented.
- How to build a packaging EPR reporting programme across countriesWork out the producer in each country, record each scheme's scope and dates, and keep EPR apart from the EU-wide conformity file.
- Germany packaging EPR for B2B suppliers: a scoping guideEvery producer registers in LUCID. Industrial packaging skips the dual system but needs take-back, yearly records and, from 2028, ZSVR approval.
- India plastic packaging EPR for medical products: scoping the obligationsMedical packaging carries India's full plastic EPR duties. Only the recycled content and reuse targets can lift, and only where a cited law forbids them.
