PPWR obligations apply from August 12, 2026. Do you know yours? Application of the PPWR (the EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) is approaching fast, and packaging manufacturers face some of its most demanding obligations. To make preparation manageable, we've created an example checklist showing the kind of actions manufacturers can take to prepare. For August, compliance efforts will need to focus on things like: ✅ Verifying that you qualify as a manufacturer under the regulation ✅ Creating Declarations of Conformity and technical documentation ✅ Ensuring food contact packaging adheres to article 5 for limits on substances of concern including PFAS. Each step pairs a goal with concrete actions, so current and future compliance work can be delegated, tracked and completed rather than debated. On our website, the full article answers common questions, from what a Declaration of Conformity actually, is to what technical data you need from material suppliers. ➡️ Save the checklist below for your own compliance team, and check out the article for more information: https://go.upm.com/4p9CQHB. #WeRenewTheEveryday #PPWR #PackagingCompliance
