EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)

Welcome to the central information page on PPWR compliance

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) sets out binding requirements for the prevention of packaging waste, the promotion of the circular economy, and the provision of sustainable packaging solutions.

As a company, we fully recognise these legal requirements and have systematically and bindingly integrated the requirements of the PPWR into our internal guidelines, processes and corporate principles. Compliance with all regulatory obligations – particularly with regard to conformity, documentation, record-keeping and continuous improvement – is, for us, an essential component of responsible and legally compliant corporate governance.

Our mission

We ensure that:

  • all relevant legal and regulatory requirements are fully taken into account and implemented
  • our packaging and processes comply with the applicable legal requirements
  • the necessary documentation and declarations of conformity are properly prepared, maintained and made available
  • responsibilities are clearly defined and documented in a traceable manner
  • changes to legal requirements are systematically assessed and implemented in a timely manner

The purpose of this page

This platform serves as a central source of information, providing a transparent overview of how the PPWR requirements are being implemented within our organisation. It offers structured access to relevant content, responsibilities and valid evidence of compliance.

What can you find here?

  • Centralised, cross-site policies and binding framework conditions
  • An overview of our branches and their specific roles in regulatory implementation
  • Access to up-to-date, valid declarations of conformity and related documents
  • Clear allocation of responsibilities and accountabilities
