EUROPEN has introduced a new digital guide to support companies in understanding and complying with the European Union’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). This tool is designed to simplify a complex legal framework and offer clarity to stakeholders across the packaging supply chain.

Clear Overview and Practical Tools
The guide delivers a streamlined summary of the PPWR and its connections to other related EU policies. It includes a glossary for quick reference to legal terms and provides direct links to the full regulation text and supplementary materials. One of its main features is an interactive questionnaire that helps users evaluate how the regulation impacts their specific business operations. The results are more accurate when the user inputs information that is directly relevant to their products or services.
Step-by-Step Support
To help users get the most out of the tool, EUROPEN has also released a video tutorial, demonstrating how to use the questionnaire effectively and ensuring businesses understand each stage of the process. The video aims to make the regulatory guidance more accessible, especially for companies that may not have in-house legal or compliance teams.
Not a Substitute for Legal Advice
While the guide is designed to be a helpful reference, it comes with a disclaimer. EUROPEN emphasizes that the content should not replace formal legal consultation. Although efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the material, the guide cannot address every unique business scenario. Companies are strongly advised to consult the official PPWR documentation and seek legal advice to ensure full compliance.
Conclusion
EUROPEN’s new guidebook is a valuable starting point for businesses aiming to understand the PPWR and its broader implications. With tools designed to clarify responsibilities and support informed decisions, the guide offers companies a path forward in a fast-changing regulatory landscape. However, it’s not a complete solution—companies must still rely on official texts and expert advice to ensure their full and accurate compliance.
