On August 12, 2026, the full application of the EU's new packaging regulation, the PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation), began. As a result, inquiries regarding PPWR and EPR have increased at overseas certification PROs. "Are our products subject to this?" "Is EPR registration necessary?" "What should we confirm with our packaging material suppliers?" "We are CE compliant, but are there additional requirements?" Many companies seeking advice on these matters are unsure about the extent of the impact on their business and the necessary actions, causing them to hesitate in the information-gathering stage. The PPWR is not just an environmental regulation; it is a system that also relates to the packaging design and document management of companies supplying products to the EU market. This article will outline the overview of the system and the points that companies should verify.
