PPWR: EU Packaging Regulation

Can I be certified for the PPWR?

There is no such thing as PPWR certification. The regulation provides for a declaration of conformity by the producer based on its technical documentation, not for certification by a third party.

Independent certifications do however supply robust building blocks for that documentation, for example on recycled content, recyclability, PFAS-free status or plastic content. Anyone holding such evidence bases their declaration on verified data rather than on self-disclosure.
