Description

The EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation came into force on the 11th February, with a hard implementation date of 12th August 2026. The regulation significantly expands on the previous Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (PPWD), consolidating much at the Commission level, and with significant impact on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scope.

The regulation is designed to assist in the bloc reaching its ambitions targets of a 55% reduction in Greenhouse Gases by 2030 (Fit for 55 initiative). The rules, applicable to both EU and non-EU businesses placing packaging on the EU market, covers the entire packaging lifecycle, from design to waste handling.

With specific provisions around single-use plastics; weights and volumes of packaging; thresholds of recyclable content in packaging; restrictions on limits of certain substances (i.e. PFAS); and much more; it is anticipated that its impact on businesses will be far reaching. The regulation’s impact on design, sourcing, labelling, fees, and much more, means that the sooner UK businesses can start preparing the lower compliance costs will be.
