Short answer

First confirm with legal counsel whether the packaging is placed on the EU market and what role your company has. PPWR applies from 12 August 2026; verify the relevant product, provision and duty, then map evidence for cycles, returns, cleaning and repair.

EU packaging rules depend on market and company role.
