Noile reguli UE pentru ambalaje: producătorii români care livrează în UE au obligații în acele state membre

The new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), effective from August 12, 2026, significantly alters compliance obligations for Romanian producers selling packaged goods in other EU member states. Producers must now consider the member state where the packaged product is made available to the end user, not just where the packaging occurs. This regulation extends responsibility for packaging to producers in each state where their products are marketed, especially for direct sales to consumers. Different sales channels may impose varying obligations, and a designated authorized representative may be required in the member state to ensure compliance. Producers must track packaging data accurately across member states to meet reporting requirements, necessitating a thorough review of sales flows and responsibilities.
