PPWR readiness check: where your packaging stands
Item by item: what applies today, what comes later and what to ask your suppliers. €390 for up to 25 packaging items.
What the check is
A written check of each of your packaging items against the EU packaging regulation (PPWR, Regulation 2025/40). The PPWR applies since 12 August 2026, but most of its rules arrive later. The check tells you, item by item, what applies to you today, what you will need from your suppliers, and what to plan for. We run your packaging list through our PPWR software, and our team reviews every item before you get the report. See the PPWR timeline. 
EUR-Lex
What you get
- Your role per item: manufacturer, importer or neither (branding generic packaging makes you the manufacturer).
- What applies today: the declaration of conformity (heavy metals, and PFAS for food-contact packaging) and the traceability marking.
- Whether the micro-enterprise exemption can apply to you.
- The rules each item will face later: recyclability, recycled content for plastic, minimisation and labelling.
- A list of the gaps, with a request letter ready for each supplier who owes you data.
- A written report (PDF) and a spreadsheet of your items.

What we need from you
A list of your packaging items (box, mailer, bag, bottle, label, fill), with the material, the supplier, whether it carries your brand and whether it touches food. Supplier specification sheets help if you have them.
PPWR and French EPR are different
The PPWR sets EU rules for the packaging itself. French EPR is your membership, IDUs and declarations of quantities with the eco-organismes. You need both; the representative plan covers French EPR. Sources (2)EUR-LexEUR-Lex — Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR)

Frequently asked questions
Is the PPWR the same as EPR?
No. EPR is about paying for the end of life of the packaging you place on the market and declaring quantities. The PPWR sets rules for the packaging itself: substances, marking, recyclability, recycled content and labelling. EUR-Lex
Do I need it if I only resell products in the maker's packaging?
Often not: the manufacturer whose name is on the packaging draws up the declaration. The check confirms it item by item.
Who does the check?
Our software maps each item to the PPWR rules, and our team reviews every item and the report before you get it. EUR-Lex
Is it included in EPR EU Connect?
Connect includes the self-service PPWR drafts for your packaging. The check is our team's written review of your whole range. EUR-Lex
