PPWR – Packaging and packaging waste

The new European packaging regulation changes the rules for everything that travels in boxes, cartons and on pallets. We help you always have the packaging documentation ready, shipment after shipment.

Reg. (EU) 2025/40Applies to: All product families
In short
  • The PPWR replaces the old packaging directive with a regulation that applies in the same way across the whole European Union.
  • It covers packaging materials, their recyclability and the presence of restricted substances such as heavy metals and PFAS.
  • It applies gradually, with new obligations and implementing acts over the coming years.
What you receive
  • Packaging declaration of conformity, per shipment
  • Long-term declaration on heavy metals, SVHC, PFAS and SVOC

Our support

A declaration for every shipment

We collect and check the packaging declaration of conformity: materials, recyclability, restricted substances.

Long-term declaration

Heavy metals, SVHC substances, PFAS and SVOC: a periodic declaration from our production plants, kept up to date with its expiry dates.

Also for pallet makers

Wooden pallets are packaging: if you use our nails and staples to build them, the documentation helps you with that too.

Always up to date

We follow the implementing acts of the regulation and adapt the documents as new requirements arrive.

The documents and information we provide support distributors in their obligations; responsibility for import compliance remains with the importer.
