Packaging licensing in Europe

Our commitment assessment

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?

Waste separation in Denmark, Norway & Co.: standardised symbols used in the Nordic countries
A lot has happened in the Nordic countries in terms of waste separation in recent years: standardised symbols have been used in Denmark since 2017 to simplify waste separation for consumers and businesses. The use of the pictograms is voluntary. Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland have followed suit and have also introduced the ‘Nordic Pictograms’ system for waste separation. The symbols can be found not only on packaging, but also at recycling stations and in public spaces. The clear labelling makes it easier to dispose of waste correctly and ensures that more recyclable materials are reused.
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.
Mandatory labelling comes into force in Spain in 2025
From 1 January 2025, a new labelling requirement for packaging will apply in Spain, which was introduced by Royal Decree 1055/2022. Companies that place household packaging on the market in Spain must then ensure that their packaging is correctly labelled. After 1 January 2025, no packaging may be placed on the market in Spain without a label. The aim of this new regulation is to promote recycling in Spain and to support consumers by providing clear separation information.
