The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR, Regulation (EU) 2025/40) affects virtually every company that places packaging on the market, uses it or trades in it. For many entrepreneurs, the first question is not "what do I have to do", but simply "does this apply to me, and in which role". To answer that question quickly, a PPWR decision tool is now available on our website.

What the tool does

The decision tool guides you through a number of targeted questions about your packaging and your position in the supply chain. On that basis, you will receive an initial indication of:

  • whether you qualify as a manufacturer, producer or another role under the PPWR
  • whether your packaging is classified as single-use or reusable
  • which obligations are associated with this, such as the declaration of conformity and any EPR registration

Who is this intended for

The tool is particularly useful as a first scan for companies that use, produce or import packaging — think of wooden packaging and pallets, but also of other materials. The result provides direction, not a definitive judgement: the PPWR includes many situations in which the correct outcome depends on details within your specific supply chain.

Would you like to go through the outcome of the tool together, or move straight to a full analysis for your organisation? First complete the PPWR decision tool yourself, and then discuss the outcome with us in a short, no-obligation conversation.
