The Regulation (EU) 2025/40 of the European Parliament and the Council of 19 December 2024 on Packaging and Packaging Waste (PPWR) was published in the Official Journal today.
The regulation will enter into force on 11 February and will apply in all Member States from 12 August 2026. From that date, the PPWR will replace the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (Directive 94/62/EC).
In view of the transformative changes to packaging management that this regulation will effect, it is advisable for affected economic operators to initiate preparations at the earliest opportunity and to begin the implementation of the necessary adjustments.
