What is PPWR

One regulation, every piece of packaging you place on the EU market.

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU 2025/40) replaces the old Packaging Directive with a single set of binding rules that apply directly in every member state, no national transposition needed. It was adopted in December 2024 and applies from 12 August 2026.

PPWR covers the full lifecycle of packaging: recyclability, mandatory recycled content, reuse systems, packaging minimisation, harmonised labelling, restrictions on substances of concern such as PFAS, and extended producer responsibility (EPR) fees modulated by your packaging's recyclability grade.

Crucially, obligations follow your role in the supply chain. Manufacturers, suppliers, importers, distributors, authorised representatives, and fulfilment service providers each carry distinct legal duties under PPWR. Most companies hold more than one role across their portfolio, which is exactly where the data burden explodes.

Why it matters now

The date has passed. The data problem has not.

With PPWR in force, you have to prove compliance for every packaging component, from every supplier, in a structure an auditor accepts. Manual collection does not scale to thousands of SKUs, and the requirements keep tightening through 2030.

Legal and market access risk

Non-compliant packaging cannot be placed on the EU market. Enforcement, penalties and delisting sit at the member-state level.

EPR fees scale with design

Under Eco-Modulation, fees scale with your packaging's Design-for-Recycling grade (A, B or C). Poor data means overpaying, a verified high grade means lower fees.

Scattered, unverifiable evidence

CoCs, declarations of compliance and material specs live in emails, ERPs and spreadsheets. PPWR wants a traceable technical dossier instead.

Suppliers are slow to respond

Your compliance depends on data you do not hold. Chasing suppliers by inbox is the single biggest practical bottleneck.

Role complexity

Whether you are a manufacturer, supplier, importer, distributor, authorised representative, or fulfilment service provider, each role carries distinct obligations. Getting your role wrong changes who files declarations and who pays.

Moving targets to 2040

Recyclability grades, recycled content and reuse thresholds keep tightening. Data collected once must stay a living foundation.

Who this is for

Built for the teams who own compliance.

If your name is on the declaration of conformity, or you spend your weeks chasing supplier documents, PPWR lands on your desk.

The RightOrigins platform

Agents that build your PPWR evidence, not just store it.

RightOrigins is domain-specific compliance AI. Every answer is source-traceable to the original document, so what you hand an auditor holds up.

1

Determine your role

Map each product to its specific PPWR role (manufacturer, supplier, importer, distributor, authorised representative, or fulfilment service provider), so you know exactly which obligations apply across your portfolio.

2

Collect from suppliers automatically

Structured requests and automated follow-up gather packaging specs, CoCs and declarations. You track response rates in a dashboard, not your inbox.

3

Extract and validate with AI

The platform reads specifications and certificates, extracts PFAS limits, heavy metals, material composition by layer and reusability, and flags gaps.

4

Build the technical dossier

Every product is mapped to its components and material layers with traceable evidence, the auditable structure PPWR actually requires.

5

Stay audit-ready as rules tighten

The data you collect now becomes the foundation for recyclability grades and recycled-content targets that come into force through 2030 and beyond.

6

One source of truth

Quality, Regulatory, Procurement and Sustainability work from the same live record, with full source traceability on every field.

PPWR explained

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, in plain terms

What is PPWR?

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR, Regulation EU 2025/40) is the EU law that replaces the previous Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive with a single set of binding rules that apply directly in every member state, with no national transposition. It covers the full lifecycle of packaging: recyclability, mandatory recycled content, reuse systems, packaging minimisation, harmonised labelling, restrictions on substances of concern such as PFAS, and extended producer responsibility (EPR) fees modulated by how sustainable your packaging is.

When does PPWR apply?

PPWR entered into force in early 2025 and applies from 12 August 2026. Obligations then phase in over time: harmonised material-composition labelling around 2028, and recyclability and recycled-content targets from 2030, with thresholds continuing to tighten through 2035 to 2040. The data you organise now becomes the foundation for every deadline that follows.

Who has to comply with PPWR?

Any economic operator handling packaging in the EU market: manufacturers, suppliers, importers, distributors, authorised representatives, and fulfilment service providers. Importers and brand owners carry direct legal responsibility, and most companies hold more than one role across their portfolio. Because obligations follow your role, from who files the declaration of conformity to who pays EPR fees, determining your role correctly is the first practical step to compliance.

What is a PPWR technical dossier?

A PPWR technical dossier is the auditable set of evidence proving that each packaging unit complies. It maps every product to its packaging components and material layers, with the supporting data, material composition, PFAS limits, heavy metals, recycled content and recyclability, traceable back to the original source documents from your suppliers. PPWR expects a structured, verifiable dossier, not a folder of loose PDFs.

How RightOrigins helps you comply

RightOrigins is a PPWR compliance platform built on domain-specific compliance AI. It determines your role under PPWR, collects packaging data from your suppliers with automated requests and follow-up, extracts and validates that data, and assembles your technical dossier with full source traceability on every field. Quality, Regulatory, Procurement and Sustainability teams work from one live record, so you can prove compliance today and stay audit-ready as the rules tighten toward 2030 and beyond.
