You may be requested to provide packaging details such as materials, and sustainability data to support customer compliance under the PPWR.
Who Needs PPWR Support?
Our PPWR compliance services help businesses placing packaging or packaged products on the European market understand their obligations under the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation. This may include eco-design requirements, Declaration of Conformity preparation and EPR obligations.
Manufacturers
Ensure packaging meets PPWR eco-design and recyclability requirements, prepare the Declaration of Conformity, maintain documentation, and fulfil applicable EPR obligations.
Importers
Verify that your suppliers have drawn the necessary compliance documents. You may also need to fulfil the applicable EPR obligations.
Distributors
Ensure products are supported by the required compliance information and check whether your role creates additional PPWR or EPR obligations.
PPWR Compliance Services for Packaging Data Management
Preparing for PPWR is not only a regulatory challenge — it is also a packaging data management challenge:
- Which packaging formats are in scope
- Which legal role applies to your business
- What material and substance data is available
- Which supplier evidence is missing
- Whether testing or validation may be needed
- How the information will support technical documentation and Declarations of Conformity
As a result, H2 Compliance helps you turn scattered packaging information into a structured, auditable compliance process.

Is Your Packaging Portfolio PPWR-Ready?
How Our PPWR Compliance Services Help You Prepare
We help you understand what applies to your business, what evidence you need and how to build a practical route to compliance.
First, we assess your role, packaging scope and applicable obligations under Regulation (EU) 2025/40.
Next, we review the information you already have and identify missing supplier, material, substance and evidence data.
Then, we define what information should be requested from suppliers and how it should be structured for compliance use.
Where relevant, we help assess evidence related to heavy metals, PFAS, BPA and other substance-related requirements.
In addition, we support the preparation and review of documentation needed to evidence PPWR compliance.
Finally, we help you prepare audit-ready DoC documentation, supported by structured data and expert review.

Frequently Asked Questions
PPWR stands for Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation. It is Regulation (EU) 2025/40 and introduces EU-wide requirements for packaging placed on the EU market, including packaging design, composition, recyclability, reuse, substance restrictions, labelling, EPR and documentation.
PPWR entered into force on 11 February 2025 and generally applies from 12 August 2026, with several requirements applying through later milestones.
The initial requirements cover substance restrictions and Declarations of Conformity. Failure to comply can lead to market access restrictions and enforcement action by national authorities.
PPWR may affect companies that manufacture, import, distribute or sell packaged products on the EU market. This includes brand owners, importers, distributors, packaging manufacturers, online sellers and non-EU companies selling into the EU.
If your packaged products are placed on the EU market, PPWR may create obligations for your business or your EU supply chain partners. Non-EU companies should assess their role, documentation responsibilities and route to market.
A PPWR Declaration of Conformity is a formal document used to declare that packaging meets applicable PPWR requirements. It should be supported by appropriate technical documentation and evidence.
This depends on your packaging and role, but may include packaging type, material composition, weight, substance information, recycled content data, test reports, supplier declarations and other technical evidence.
We do both. We define the testing scope based on your material, coordinate with accredited EU/US laboratories, and validate supplier test reports to ensure they are technically sufficient to support a legal Declaration of Conformity.
No. EPR remains important, but PPWR goes further. It also introduces requirements linked to packaging design, composition, recyclability, reuse, substances, labelling, technical documentation and Declarations of Conformity.
