PPWR — Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation
EU rules on packaging recyclability, minimum recycled content, reuse and refill targets, over-packaging limits and harmonised labelling — applied per unit of packaging placed on the market.
Regulation
The rules reshaping how products move through supply chains
Sustainability regulation is moving from voluntary reporting to enforceable, product-level obligations. Below is a working map of the regimes we help clients navigate across the EU and Asia.
Key regimes
Four fronts to plan for
EPR — Extended Producer Responsibility
Producers finance and organise the collection, sorting and recycling of what they put on the market. Schemes, fees, registration and reporting differ by country and by product stream.
ESPR & the Digital Product Passport
The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation sets ecodesign and information requirements and introduces the Digital Product Passport — machine-readable data on materials, durability, repairability and footprint, reachable from a data carrier on the product.
Environmental footprint & carbon
Product and organisation environmental-footprint methods, carbon-footprint disclosure and border-adjustment reporting for in-scope goods — increasingly a prerequisite for market access.
Two regions, one programme
EU and Asia, side by side
European Union
A connected framework — Green Deal, ESPR, PPWR, EPR, CBAM — with staged entry into force and delegated acts that set the detail product category by product category.
Asia
A patchwork of national schemes — recycling and packaging standards, EPR obligations and traceability rules — that impacted operators must monitor market by market.
This overview is a general guide, not legal advice. We tailor the applicable-obligation analysis to your products, materials and destination markets.
