The European Packaging Directive is implemented differently in all 27 countries. This also means that there are very different legal requirements, responsibilities and quantity thresholds within the EU. You can therefore easily create an account with us and use our free obligation assessment to check in which countries you have any obligations at all!
Once you have registered, simply select a country via our interactive dashboard, answer the questions, enter your volumes and receive the result directly, including a detailed cost estimate. You can change your details or check other countries at any time. What are you waiting for?

PPWR update: an overview of recent developments
The European Union wants to implement more measures to promote sustainable packaging solutions. This is reflected in the currently hotly debated draft of the Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), which was presented in November 2022. This regulation contains binding rules for packaging and packaging waste in the European single market and significantly expands the existing EU directives. However, the PPWR is not yet a done deal; it still has a few hurdles to overcome before it finally comes into force. We will keep you up to date on the latest status in this article.
EPR systems for packaging in comparison: a country overview
In the EU, retailers and manufacturers who place products on the market are subject to certain environmental responsibilities. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a way of obliging companies to take responsibility for the entire life cycle of their products. This includes not only the product itself, but also all packaging and (product) components put into circulation that are disposed of by end consumers. The exact areas covered by the EPR vary from country to country. In this article, we take a look at the EPR in the area of packaging and shed light on what exactly the requirements mean, how they are implemented in practice and how the requirements differ from country to country within the EU.
