Il PPWR si applica dal 12 agosto 2026
Il PPWR in pratica
Cinque domande che distributori, stampatori e trasformatori si pongono da agosto 2026, con la risposta, l’articolo e il documento che risponde.
What the PPWR information must contain
Since 12 August 2026 a supplier of packaging or packaging material owes the packaging manufacturer everything the manufacturer needs for its technical file. Article 16 says what, Annex VII says how much.
Leggi 2Manufacturer or supplier: who owes what under the PPWR
The PPWR puts the file and the declaration on one company per packaging item, and an information duty on everyone who supplies it. Which one you are decides what your customer may ask of you.
Leggi 3The EU declaration of conformity for packaging
One document per packaging type, signed by the manufacturer, saying on its sole responsibility that the packaging meets the PPWR. Article 39 and Annex VIII say what goes in it; the supplier's information is what it rests on.
Leggi 4What a typical PPWR letter from a material maker leaves out
Since August 2026 most material makers answer every request with one letter for the whole range. Read against Annex VII, the same five things are missing from nearly all of them.
