PPWR: from requirements to packaging data

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation covers duties that vary by product, operator, market and date. Good documentation starts with reliable data.

Work scope

What needs organizing?

Collect facts and evidence for requirement review in one place.

Materials and mass

Composition, components, mass and intended use are the starting point.

Design and recycling

Packaging categories, design parameters, recycled content and possible exceptions.

Technical documentation

Approved documents, versions, measurement sources and change history.

Markets and dates

Review duties by jurisdiction, operator role and assessment date.

01

What is PPWR and when does it apply?

PPWR is Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on packaging and packaging waste. It entered into force on 11 February 2025 and its general application date is 12 August 2026. Individual requirements have their own dates and conditions. Packaging work needs to consider product properties, the business role and the market where packaging is made available.

  • Material and origin alone do not complete an assessment
  • Specific conditions for particular uses
  • Check timing against each applicable requirement
02

Which packaging requirements need information?

Documentation work covers areas including composition and substances, design for recycling, recycled content, packaging minimisation, reuse and labelling. The applicable scope depends on category and use. For each area, identify the information required, its supporting document and the person responsible for reviewing the result.

  • Specifications and evidence connected to records
  • Packaging version covered by review
  • Information gaps turned into tasks
03

Recyclability grades A, B and C need a basis

A grade must follow the appropriate method and data for the packaging assessed. Material names, colour or a supplier statement alone are insufficient to calculate a reliable grade independently. PPWR Link separates source data, assessment status and the review decision so a result does not conceal missing evidence or an applicability condition.

  • Assessment method and scope
  • Sources for input values
  • Review after design changes
04

How do you organise PPWR work in a business?

Start with a packaging catalogue and market roles. Collect documents, assign review responsibilities and record material movements. Use the shared information for assessments, dossiers, passports and reporting preparation. Store and warehouse integrations bring actual consumption from everyday operations into the same process.

  • Catalogue and suppliers
  • Documents and tasks
  • Integrations and reporting data
Questions and answers

Good to know before you start

Answers to questions about everyday work with the platform.

Does PPWR only concern plastic packaging?

No. It covers packaging made from different materials. Specific requirements depend on packaging type and intended use.

Are PPWR and BDO the same?

No. PPWR sets the EU packaging and packaging waste framework. BDO supports specified registration, record-keeping and reporting obligations in Poland.
