Guide: Understanding PPWR & taking action

Implementing packaging compliance with Tanso

From August 12, 2026, the core obligations of the new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) take effect, with no transition period for new goods. This affects nearly all companies that manufacture, import, or place packaging on the market in the EU.

This guide was developed specifically for ESG and sustainability managers at industrial companies: clear and action-oriented, so you know where you stand and what to do now.

What the guide covers

  • Roles across the supply chain: producer, manufacturer, importer, supplier and distributor clearly defined, including a decision tree and practical examples.
  • Timeline & obligations through the 2040s: from substance restrictions and labeling to recyclability and extended producer responsibility (EPR).
  • Conformity documentation: what the DoC and technical documentation must contain and how long they need to be retained.
  • Expert insights: from H&Z, valantic, Ypsilon LAW, pacoon, Interzero and Munich Consulting Group, among others.
