FAQ & compliance
Answers to the most common questions about the EU Packaging Regulation and about using PPWR-easy.
- What is the PPWR?
- Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on packaging and packaging waste (PPWR) replaces Directive 94/62/EC. It applies directly in all EU Member States and sets requirements for recyclability, recycled content, minimisation, labelling and extended producer responsibility.
- Which economic operators does the PPWR cover?
- Article 3(12) PPWR lists the economic operators: suppliers, manufacturers, importers, distributors, final distributors, authorised representatives, fulfilment service providers and producers within the meaning of extended producer responsibility.
- Does PPWR-easy provide legal advice?
- No. PPWR-easy structures your packaging data, roles, documents and obligations and documents them in an audit-proof way. It does not replace legal advice.
- In which languages is PPWR-easy available?
- The interface is available in German and English. Labelling and disposal information is always generated in the language of the target market, independently of the interface language.
- Are the legal texts available in English?
- Our terms and conditions, privacy policy, imprint and data processing agreement are legally binding in German only. A legally approved English translation is being prepared.
- Can I import existing data?
- Yes. Packaging items and suppliers can be imported via CSV. Both German and English column headings are accepted; the internal field schema is identical.
