Why this revision?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The PPWR poses a significant administrative and financial challenge for many companies within its scope. Considerable uncertainty remains, as the regulations are complex and do not always align with the daily operations of businesses. Furthermore, in addition to the PPWR, other laws such as the EUDR (deforestation regulations) and CSRD (sustainability reporting) must also be complied with. The Commission aims to alleviate these burdens and is therefore proposing a number of amendments. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Key proposed changes in PPWR<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  1. One regulation for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
    Do you sell in multiple EU countries? Then you will no longer have to manage separate EPR schemes per country. <\/li>
  2. Discontinuation of SCIP database for packaging.
    Information on substances of concern will move to the Digital Product Passport.<\/li>
  3. Uniform calculation method for non-recycled plastic.
    Harmonization with the SUP directive (single-use plastics).<\/li><\/ol>

    <\/p>

    According to the Commission, these changes will result in significant cost savings. At the same time, environmental organizations and recyclers warn of uncertainty, postponement of investments and delays in the transition to circular packaging. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Slow down or push through? <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAs a retailer or supplier, you must take into account possible adjustments in regulations and planning towards 2026. Clear, stable rules are crucial for investing in sustainable packaging. Uncertainty is paralyzing, but waiting for 100% certainty is also a risk. The core of the law is, however, solid. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    No-regret moves<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOur advice is therefore to focus on ‘no-regret moves’: steps that deliver value anyway, regardless of the latest details. Examples include a data audit, for the benefit of your product file structure, the switch to mono-materials and minimizing air in your packaging. In a personal conversation, we would be happy to present the various options and, of course, we will keep you informed of developments regarding the PPWR. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
