The Packaging Regulation: what is changing?
The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR, EU 2025/40) replaces the old Packaging Directive and sets stricter requirements for recyclability, reuse, labelling and minimisation of packaging. The requirements are introduced in phases from 2026.
Whether you are a manufacturer, importer or distributor: you have a role and accompanying obligations under the PPWR. This tool makes concrete which tasks apply, when they apply, and how you demonstrate that your packaging is compliant.
