(EU) 2025\/40, has introduced new requirements to reduce packaging waste, improve recyclability and reuse, and support the transition towards a circular economy. From August 12, 2026, key requirements include: Restrictions on lead, cadmium, mercury and hexavalent chromium in packaging. Minimization of substances of concern (SoCs) in packaging materials and components. New obligations for manufacturers and importers, including packaging identification, traceability, conformity assessment and technical documentation. Restrictions on PFAS in food-contact packaging, subject to specified concentration limits. Further requirements will be progressively introduced: &#8211; 2029: 90% separate collection target for plastic beverage bottles and metal beverage cans. &#8211; 2030: Design-for-recycling requirements, recycled-content targets for plastic packaging and initial reuse targets. &#8211; 2035: Packaging needs to prove recyclability on a mass scale. &#8211; 2040: Higher recycled-content and reuse targets will come into force. The PPWR will therefore progressively reshape how packaging is designed, manufactured, labelled, collected, reused and recycled across the EU. For businesses placing packaging on the EU market, assessing materials, supply chains and compliance requirements will be essential to prepare for the upcoming deadlines.
