Product & Product Waste Regulation (PPWR)
The EU Packaging Regulation is already in force. Is your packaging ready?
The PPWR requires manufacturers, importers, and authorized representatives to provide technical documentation, EPR registrations, labeling, and an EU Declaration of Conformity for every piece of packaging placed on the market. PPWR Ready organizes all of this within the Intag System, using the same tag already on the product.
What is the PPWR
The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU Reg. 2025/40) replaces Directive 94/62/EC and applies directly in all Member States, without the need for national transposition. It covers all packagingwhether primary, secondary, transport, or e-commerce, placed on the EU market, imposing obligations regarding substances, recyclability, recycled content, and labeling.
General application begins on August 12, 2026: compliance, substances (PFAS, heavy metals), the EPR register, and identification are already mandatory for all operators. Other obligations follow in stages:
2027 - HORECA takeway
2028 - Compostability
2029 - Deposit-return scheme
2030 - Format bans
2038 - Classes A-B
Why is it mandatory?
Each role in the supply chain entails different obligations. The manufacturer (or the brand owner, if the packaging is produced by third parties) is responsible for the technical documentation and the EU Declaration of Conformity; the EPR producer must register with the producers' registry and pay the required fees in each Member State where the product is placed on the market; the importer must verify upstream compliance and include their details on the label; and entities not established in the EU must appoint an authorized representative.
The solution: Intag System’s PPWR Ready
The PPWR Ready service transforms the regulation into a reference sheet containing standardized data that automatically generates the EU Declaration of Conformity, complete with the version history required by law.
Complete Packaging Profile
A dedicated profile for each reference: packaging type, components, materials, weight, recycled content, recyclability class A-E, and substance checks (PFAS, heavy metals).
Operators & EPR Registrations
Manufacturer, importer, and authorized representative with the relevant EPR registrations for each Member State where the product is placed on the market, linked to the correct reference.
EU Declaration Generated Automatically
A PDF compliant with the model set out in Annex VIII, automatically generated from the profile data for each production batch — no document needs to be compiled manually.
Automatic Alerts & Deadlines
A timeline of regulatory dates for each reference (2027-2040), with alerts on recycled content thresholds, restricted or banned material classes, and expiring documents.
Supplier Declarations Stored
Collection and storage of supplier declarations and test reports covering PFAS, metals, recyclability, and recycled content for the entire period required by law.
In Summary
The PPWR is already in force. Intag System provides the infrastructure that makes compliance simple to manage: one profile per reference, an automatically generated EU Declaration, and a compliant audit history.
Note: The platform structures the data and generates the documentation required by EU Regulation 2025/40. However, substantive compliance should still be verified with your legal or product compliance advisors. Certain implementing acts (harmonized label, recyclability criteria) have not yet been adopted by the Commission.
Does your product also have supply chain traceability obligations? The same Intag infrastructure manages the Digital Product Passport (EU Reg. 2024/1781) and, for workplace safety, Near-Miss Ready (Legislative Decree 159/2025).
