Know exactly which PPWR rules apply to your packaging.
Answer a few questions about your packaging and get a report of the obligations that apply to you under the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation — recyclability grade, recycled-content targets, EPR, labelling, PFAS and the Article 21 brand-on-pack trap — each cited to its article, with the deadline.

Every PPWR obligation, mapped to your packaging.
The regulation runs to dozens of articles and annexes. The report pulls out only the ones that apply to packaging like yours, tells you the specific threshold, and gives you the deadline.
Recyclability grade
Design-for-recycling grades A/B/C, when each becomes mandatory, and what to document.
Recycled content
The exact minimum recycled-plastic percentage for your material and use, for 2030 and 2040.
Minimisation
Weight, volume and empty-space limits, and the documentation you have to hold.
Reuse & refill
Whether your category carries binding reuse targets and what you'd need to report.
Substances & PFAS
Heavy-metal limits and the PFAS ban in food-contact packaging from August 2026.
Single-use bans
Whether a single-use format you use is restricted, and the compliant alternatives.
Labelling
Harmonised material and sorting labels, and the reusability marking where it applies.
EPR registration
Where you must register, eco-modulated fees, and when a non-EU seller needs a representative.
Deadline plan
Every date that matters to you from 2026 to 2040 on a single timeline, plus a gap checklist.

Tell us about your packaging
Six quick questions. The report reflects exactly what you enter.
What you're buying
Is this legal advice?
No. It's a screening of your answers against the regulation — a fast, cited map of what appears to apply to packaging like yours, with every point referenced to its article so you can verify it. It's built to go in your compliance drawer as documented diligence, not to replace counsel. Anything you act on — and anything the report flags as an apparent gap — should be confirmed with a qualified adviser or an accredited lab.
What's the "Article 21 trap"?
If your brand or name appears on packaging that a contract packer makes for you, Article 21 treats you as the manufacturer — so you, not your packer, must draw up the Declaration of Conformity and stand behind the packaging's compliance. Most brand owners don't know this. The report flags whether it applies to you and what it means.
Do I get the supplier letters?
Yes. The report includes ready-to-send request letters — Declaration of Conformity, PFAS Certificate of Analysis, and heavy-metal documentation — pre-filled with your company and packaging types. Getting that documentation back from suppliers is the critical-path task, so the report makes it something you can start within the hour.
How current is it?
PPWR (Regulation (EU) 2025/40) was adopted in December 2024 and applies from 12 August 2026, with obligations staggered to 2040. The report states the date it reflects and flags where a requirement still depends on an implementing act being finalised.
What do you do with my inputs?
They're used to generate your report and nothing else. We don't sell data or share your packaging details. See the privacy policy.
Who is it for?
Producers, importers, brand owners, distributors and non-EU sellers who place packaging on the EU market and need to know what PPWR requires of them — before the August 2026 application date and the 2030 thresholds.
