Alongside this milestone, DG Environment of the European Commission published the second edition of its Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document on the PPWR, updating and replacing the first version released in March 2026.<\/div><div class=\"ql-block\" data-block-id=\"block-f2gjLS9UAC\">The PPWR FAQ document is designed to assist economic operators, national authorities and citizens in the practical application of the Packaging Regulation, addressing interpretative questions that have emerged since the Regulation&#8217;s adoption. Below we break down the most relevant clarifications introduced in this new edition.<\/div><div data-block-id=\"block-f2gjLS9UAC\">\u00a0<\/div><h4 class=\"ql-block\" data-block-id=\"block-E0Lo2kAWeN\"><strong>What is the PPWR and why it matters<\/strong><\/h4><div class=\"ql-block\" data-block-id=\"block-tapSlExTZX\">The PPWR (Regulation (EU) 2025\/40) replaced the former Directive 94\/62\/EC, introducing a harmonised legal framework directly applicable across all Member States for packaging placed on the EU market \u2014 whether empty or filled, regardless of material or origin. Key objectives of the Packaging Regulation include mandatory recyclability, reuse targets, restrictions on hazardous substances, and harmonised labelling requirements.<\/div><div data-block-id=\"block-tapSlExTZX\">\u00a0<\/div><h4 class=\"ql-block\" data-block-id=\"block-ThVmZbvUhg\"><strong>Key updates in the 2026 PPWR FAQ<\/strong><\/h4><div class=\"ql-block\" data-block-id=\"block-AUyirdqmHg\">Among the most relevant additions:<\/div><div data-block-id=\"block-AUyirdqmHg\">\u00a0<\/div><ul><li><strong>Substances of concern (Art. 5(1)).<\/strong>\u00a0To demonstrate the minimisation of substances of concern (SoC) in packaging, manufacturers can refer to Annex C of the harmonised standard EN 13428:2004, pending the adoption of an updated standard.<\/li><li><strong>Traceability (Art. 15(5)).<\/strong>\u00a0Individual marking of every single component of a packaging unit is not required: for a yoghurt cup made up of a cup, lid and label, for example, it is sufficient for the required information to appear on just one component.<\/li><li><strong>Manufacturer of unbranded custom-made packaging.<\/strong>\u00a0Where a company commissions custom-made packaging with no name or trademark, the company that placed the order and defined the design specifications will be considered the &#8220;manufacturer&#8221; under the PPWR, since it holds decisive power over the product&#8217;s characteristics.<\/li><li><strong>Enforcement from 12 August 2026.<\/strong>\u00a0The Commission clarifies that entry into application of the Regulation will not result in the immediate blocking of non-compliant products from the EU market. Under Article 62, Member States must first require the economic operator to remedy the non-compliance, granting an opportunity for corrective action, before adopting stricter measures such as product withdrawal or recall.<\/li><\/ul><div data-block-id=\"block-Qa_PWMkQSg\">\u00a0<\/div><h4 class=\"ql-block\" data-block-id=\"block-Qa_PWMkQSg\"><strong>Other topics covered in the PPWR FAQ document<\/strong><\/h4><div class=\"ql-block\" data-block-id=\"block-jn49oHx-4G\">Beyond the points highlighted above, the second edition of the PPWR FAQ also covers in detail:<\/div><div
