The PPWR introduces fundamental changes in packaging management across the EU.

The initial requirements coming into application from 12 August 2026 focus on the substances of concern that can harm human health, the environment, or even the recyclability of the packaging.

In-scope companies are required to conduct a conformity assessment procedure and to provide an EU declaration of conformity upon request by authorities.
